PM Narendra Modi Tops Global Democratic Leader Approval Ratings at 75%: Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to rule people’s hearts and enjoy their faith as he has topped the list of ‘Democratic Leader Approval Ratings’ of world leaders at 75 per cent, data released by US business intelligence company, Morning Consult, showed on Friday.

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung was a distant second with 59 per cent, while US President Donald Trump languished on the eighth spot with less than 45 per cent of approvals.

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.

US President Donald Trump, who returned to office last year, was ranked eighth with a 44% approval rating, well behind several of his global counterparts. Analysts suggest that recent policy moves, including trade and domestic decisions, may have impacted his standing.
