Democratic Leader Approval Ratings: PM Modi tops global list again; where does Trump rank?
Narendra Modi
has once again emerged as the most popular leader in the world with a 75 per cent approval rating.
According to the latest data released by US-based business intelligence firm Morning Consult, 75 per cent of participants approved of PM Modi as a democratic world leader, seven per cent of them could not make up their mind, while 18 per cent thought otherwise.
PM Modi was followed by South Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Argentina's Javier Milei.
"The latest approval ratings are based on data collected from July 4–10, 2025. Ratings reflect a trailing seven-day simple moving average of views among adults in each country surveyed," Morning Consult said.
The data presented is weighted to approximate representative samples of adults in each surveyed country, with weighting parameters and target populations varying accordingly.
This methodological approach allows for a more accurate reflection of public opinion across different demographics and geographical locations.
Bharatiya Janata Party IT cell head Amit Malviya, in a social media post on X, shared the information and said, 'Loved by over a billion Indians and respected by millions across the globe, PM Narendra Modi tops the Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Tracker once again — the highest-rated and most trusted leader worldwide.

Strong leadership. Global respect. Bharat is in safe hands."
Union minister Sarbananda Sonowal also posted the list of leaders, hailing the Prime Minister.
'Once again, Hon'ble PM Shri Narendra Modi ji tops the Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Tracker, emerging as the world's most trusted and highest-rated leader. Backed by over a billion Indians. Admired across continents. His strong, decisive leadership ensures Bharat's rise and the world's respect,' Sonowal said.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stands at eighth rank, with only 44 per cent in favour.
It is believed that some of his policy moves, including trade tariffs and domestic decisions, may have dented his popularity.
Earlier on Friday, PM Modi overtook former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to serve the second-longest consecutive stint as PM. PM Modi completed 4,078 days in office to overtake Indira's uninterrupted spell of 4,077 days from Jan 24, 1966, to March 24, 1977.

Glad Trump stated facts: Rahul Gandhi backs 'dead economy' remark on India
Congress leader and Lok Sabha Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday backed former US President Donald Trump's scathing remarks on the Indian economy, calling it a "dead economy" and slamming the Modi government for its alleged Trump's comment, Gandhi said, 'Yes, he is right, everybody knows this except the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister. Everybody knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. I am glad that President Trump has stated a fact. The entire world knows that the Indian economy is a dead economy. The BJP has finished the economy to help Adani.'advertisementA day after slapping India with sweeping trade penalties, chief among them a 25 per cent tariff on nearly all imports, US President Donald Trump unleashed a blistering tirade against New Delhi's ties with Moscow, deriding both nations as "dead economies" and brazenly declaring he "does not care" what India does with Russia. Gandhi also alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi works solely for businessman Gautam Adani. 'PM Modi works only for one person: Adani. This (India-US trade) deal will take place, and PM Modi will do exactly what Trump says. The main issue sitting in front of India today is that the government has destroyed our economy, defence and foreign policy. They are running this country into the ground.'The Congress MP raised sharp questions about the government's silence in response to Trump's multiple claims. 'The main question is, Trump has claimed 30–32 times that he made a ceasefire. He also said that 5 Indian jets had fallen. Trump now says that he will impose 25 percent tariffs. Why is PM Modi not able to give an answer? What is the actual reason? Who has control in his hands?' Gandhi on his social media platform Truth Social, announced the imposition of a 25 percent tariff along with additional penalties on Indian imports starting August 1. He cited India's continued oil imports from Russia and what he called 'longstanding trade barriers' as the primary reasons.'Remember, while India is our friend, we have, over the years, done relatively little business with them because their tariffs are far too high — among the highest in the world — and they have the most strenuous and obnoxious non-monetary trade barriers of any country,' Trump Indian government, while reacting to the tariff imposition, said it is studying the implications and remains hopeful of finalising a fair bilateral trade agreement.- EndsTune InMust Watch IN THIS STORY#Donald Trump#Rahul Gandhi#Narendra Modi#United States of America#Tariffs

China summons chip giant Nvidia over alleged security risks
Chinese authorities summoned Nvidia representatives on Thursday to discuss "serious security issues" over some of its artificial intelligence chips, as the U.S. tech giant finds itself entangled in trade tensions between Beijing and Washington. Nvidia is a world-leading producer of AI semiconductors, but the United States effectively restricts which chips it can export to China on national security grounds. A key issue has been Chinese access to the "H20", a less powerful version of Nvidia's AI processing units that the company developed specifically for export to China. The California-based firm said this month it would resume H20 sales to China after Washington pledged to remove licensing curbs that had halted exports. But the firm still faces obstacles. U.S. lawmakers have proposed plans to require Nvidia and other manufacturers of advanced AI chips to include built-in location tracking capabilities. And Beijing's top internet regulator said Thursday it had summoned Nvidia representatives to discuss recently discovered "serious security issues" involving the H20. The Cyberspace Administration of China said it had asked Nvidia to "explain the security risks of vulnerabilities and backdoors in its H20 chips sold to China and submit relevant supporting materials". The statement posted on social media noted that, according to US experts, location tracking and remote shutdown technologies for Nvidia chips "are already matured". The announcement marked the latest complication for Nvidia in selling its advanced products in the key Chinese market, where it is in increasingly fierce competition with homegrown technology firms. CEO Jensen Huang said during a closely watched visit to Beijing this month that his firm remained committed to serving local customers. Huang said he had been assured during talks with top Chinese officials during the trip that the country was "open and stable". "They want to know that Nvidia continues to invest here, that we are still doing our best to serve the market here," he said. Nvidia this month became the first company to hit $4 trillion in market value: a new milestone in Wall Street's bet that AI will transform the global economy. Jost Wubbeke of the Sinolytics consultancy told AFP the move by China to summon Nvidia was "not surprising in the sense that targeting individual U.S. companies has become a common tool in the context of US-China tensions". "What is surprising, however, is the timing," he noted, after the two countries agreed to further talks to extend their trade truce. "China's action may signal a shift toward a more assertive stance," Wubbeke said. Beijing is also aiming to reduce reliance on foreign tech by promoting Huawei's domestically developed 910C chip as an alternative to the H20, he added. "From that perspective, the US decision to allow renewed exports of the H20 to China could be seen as counterproductive, as it might tempt Chinese hyperscalers to revert to the H20, potentially undermining momentum behind the 910C and other domestic alternatives." New hurdles to Nvidia's operation in China come as the country's economy wavers, beset by a years-long property sector crisis and heightened trade headwinds under US President Donald Trump. Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for the country to enhance self-reliance in certain areas deemed vital for national security, including AI and semiconductors, as tensions with Washington mount. The country's firms have made great strides in recent years, with Huang praising their "super-fast" innovation during his visit to Beijing this month.
