The latest Global Leader Approval Rating was conducted between 4 and 10 July 2025. Morning Consult used a rolling seven-day average of adult opinions across the countries surveyed, it said. Morning Consult is a US-based business intelligence and data analytics company. Morning Consult survey measures the public approval ratings of world leaders, particularly those of democratic countries, based on daily interviews with thousands of people across different nations. The survey found that three out of every four people surveyed had a positive view of Modi as a democratic leader. While a smaller section — 18% — didn't feel the same way, about 7% were unsure or didn't have a clear opinion. Modi was re-elected for a third term as India's prime minister in May 2024. South Korean President Lee Jae Myung ranked 2nd South Korean President Lee Jae Myung emerged as the second-most popular democratic leader in the world, with 59% of those surveyed giving him a thumbs-up. While 29% disapproved of his leadership, around 13% were unsure. That he secured the second spot is particularly notable, given that he has only been in office for about a month. US President Donald Trump secures 8th spot US President Donald Trump, who returned to power with a strong mandate last year, came in at number eight. Only 44% of participants approved of his leadership, a relatively low number given his recent election win. Observers believe some of his policy moves, including trade tariffs and domestic decisions, may have dented his popularity.
