"PM Modi has stayed well ahead of his global counterparts by garnering a commanding approval rating of 68 per cent. - Morning Consult Survey"

New Delhi, March 25

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again topped the global list of most popular leaders by achieving approval ratings of 68 per cent, according to a survey by the Morning Consult, a reputed US-based data analytics firm.

According to the survey conducted by Morning Consult, between March 2 and 8, PM Modi has stayed well ahead of his global counterparts by garnering a commanding approval rating of 68 per cent.

The latest rankings reinforce PM Modi's sustained charisma and leadership, not just domestically but also internationally, as he continues to occupy the top spot despite three consecutive terms in power.

In a stark contrast, American President Donald Trump features nowhere in the Top Ten rankings, having earned just 39 per cent approval ratings.

Other global leaders trailing PM Modi include Switzerland President Guy Parmelin, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, both occupying the second spot with 62 per cent approval ratings.

Those following in close succession at third and fourth spots are the Czech Republic and Argentine counterparts with 57 and 56 per cent approval ratings respectively.

Besides the US President, other European counterparts are seen trailing behind by a big margin. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has earned just 24 per cent approval ratings. Among other leaders, French President Emmanuel Macron fares poorly with 17 per cent approval ratings and is seen relegated to the bottom of the list.

Notably, PM Modi has consistently dominated the approval ratings ever since taking office. The latest rankings assume significance as it comes in the backdrop of him achieving the feat of being the longest serving head of government.

PM Modi achieved a historic milestone in Indian politics this Sunday by becoming the longest-serving head of government in the country. He completed 8,931 days as head of government this weekend, combining his tenure first as Chief Minister of Gujarat and then as Prime Minister, thereby entering his 25th year in a key leadership role.

Notably, the Morning Consult ratings reflect a seven-day moving average of adult opinions across the countries surveyed.

While the rating is impressive, I hope this popularity translates into more direct benefits for the common person, especially in controlling inflation and creating jobs. The focus should remain on ground realities.

Beating leaders from developed nations is a big deal! It reflects a global shift in perception about India. Our voice on the world stage is stronger than ever.

Interesting data point. The contrast with Western leaders is stark. It seems there's a greater sense of stability and direction perceived in India compared to the political chaos we often see elsewhere.

25 years in leadership! That's a long time. Consistency is key, and whether one agrees with all policies or not, you have to respect the political stamina and connection with the masses.

We should also look at the methodology. A 7-day average from an online survey might not capture the full depth of public opinion across India's diverse population. Still, a positive indicator.
