Narendra Modi Tops Global With Approval Rating Of 75%
In the latest global leader approval ratings released for July 2025 by US-based data intelligence firm Morning Consult, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again emerged as the most popular democratic leader in the world. With an impressive 75% approval rating, Modi leads the pack far ahead of his international counterparts.
The survey, which is conducted daily across multiple nations through thousands of interviews, has highlighted Modi’s growing popularity across diverse demographics in India. Notably, his strongest support comes from the urban middle class, young professionals, and first-time voters—demonstrating his enduring appeal among both traditional and emerging voter segments.
The approval rating chart features 18 world leaders, and Narendra Modi’s 75% approval is unmatched. Here’s how the other leaders rank:
India – Narendra Modi: 75% approve, 7% no opinion, 18% disapprove
South Korea – Lee Jae-myung: 59% approve, 13% no opinion, 29% disapprove
Argentina – Javier Milei: 57% approve, 6% no opinion, 37% disapprove
Canada – Mark Carney: 56% approve, 13% no opinion, 31% disapprove
Australia – Anthony Albanese: 54% approve, 11% no opinion, 35% disapprove

One of the biggest surprises from the poll is the position of US President Donald Trump. Despite securing a second term and returning to the White House last year, Trump is ranked eighth with only 44% approval. His disapproval stands at 50%, with many analysts pointing toward his controversial policy measures and divisive public statements as contributing factors to the decline.
This stark contrast in leadership approval between Narendra Modi and Trump highlights differing political landscapes and public perceptions in two of the world’s largest democracies. While Modi, after more than a decade in office, continues to climb in approval and broaden his support base, Trump appears to be grappling with internal resistance despite recent electoral success.
The poll serves as an indicator not just of political favorability but also of trust and effectiveness in governance. As world leaders face increasing scrutiny in the digital age, maintaining public confidence is becoming both a political and strategic imperative.
Morning Consult’s methodology relies on continuous global surveys, ensuring a comprehensive, updated pulse on how citizens view their leaders. For July 2025, the data speaks clearly—Narendra Modi remains unmatched in global leadership approval.
