Prime
Minister
Narendra
Modi
has
once
again
emerged
as
the
world’s
most
trusted
and
highest-rated
leader,
reaffirming
his
unmatched
global
stature.
According
to
the
Morning
Consult
Global
Leader
Approval
Tracker
(July
2025
edition),
PM
Modi
enjoys
a
staggering
75%
approval
rating,
outpacing
all
other
global
heads
of
state.

Despite
being
in
power
for
over
11
consecutive
years,
Modi’s
popularity
shows
no
signs
of
decline.
Only
18%
of
respondents
disapprove
of
his
leadership,
while
7%
remain
neutral
–
a
testament
to
the
Indian
Prime
Minister’s
enduring
appeal
both
at
home
and
abroad.

A
Consistent
Global
Favourite
Since
2021

PM
Modi’s
leadership
ratings
have
consistently
topped
the
global
tracker
for
the
past
five
years:

• 2021
  –
  70%
  approval
• 2022
  –
  71%
• 2023
  –
  76%
• 2024
  –
  78%
• 2025
  –
  75%

Even
with
the
slight
dip
from
last
year,
Modi
maintains
a
commanding
lead
over
his
international
counterparts
–
a
feat
unmatched
in
recent
political
history.

Far
Ahead
of
Global
Peers

PM
Modi’s
75%
approval
places
him
significantly
ahead
of
other
world
leaders:

• Lee
  Jae
  Myung
  (South
  Korea):
  59%
• Javier
  Milei
  (Argentina):
  57%
• Mark
  Carney
  (Canada):
  56%
• Anthony
  Albanese
  (Australia):
  54%
• Donald
  Trump
  (United
  States):
  44%

None
come
close
to
matching
Modi’s
pan-national
support
or
sustained
dominance
across
five
consecutive
years.

‘Proud

The
BJP

in
the
world,” calling
it
a

that
India
is

“Loved

over
a

Senior
BJP
MP
Ravi
Shankar
Prasad
echoed
this
sentiment,
calling
it
a
“proud
moment
for
every
Indian.”
He
added,
“This

is
a
testament
to
the
Prime
Minister’s
exceptional
leadership,
his

to
nation-building,
and
the

in
him.”
