Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again emerged as the most trusted and highest-rated global leader, securing a 75% approval rating in the latest global leader tracker report by US-based data firm Morning Consult, covering the period from July 4 to July 10, 2025.

This rating reinforces Modi's unwavering popularity both domestically and internationally. According to the published data, Modi is far ahead of his global counterparts, including South Korea’s Lee Jae-myung (59%), Argentina’s Javier Milei (57%), Canada’s Mark Carney (56%), and US President Donald Trump (44%), who ranks eighth on the global chart.

The announcement sparked praise from BJP leaders, especially Amit Malviya, who took to social media to celebrate the moment. “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,” wrote Malviya on X (formerly Twitter).

Consistent Global Leadership Since 2021

Prime Minister Modi’s top spot in global approval is not a sudden occurrence. He has consistently led the Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Tracker since at least September 2021, when he first topped the chart with a 70% approval rating.

His approval surged further over the years, with 71% in early 2022, and an even stronger foothold throughout 2023, recording 76% approval ratings in April, September, and December. In February 2024, his approval peaked at 78%, making him the most consistently trusted leader among his global peers.

The current approval of 75% marks a continuation of this longstanding dominance, reaffirming India's position as a rising global power under strong leadership.

How Morning Consult Conducts the Survey

The data firm Morning Consult tracks the approval ratings of major global leaders on a weekly basis, relying on data gathered from thousands of online interviews conducted across the globe. These interviews assess public sentiment about leaders based on their domestic and international policies, crisis handling, and overall governance.

The leaders tracked include heads of state from countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Japan, South Korea, and India, among others. Each rating reflects the percentage of respondents who approve or disapprove of their leader's performance.

Why Modi's Rating Stands Out

PM Modi's 75% approval stands out for several reasons:

1. Sustained Trust Across Years: Unlike many leaders whose approval ratings fluctuate based on political events, Modi's support has remained consistently strong for nearly four years.

2. Global Recognition of Indian Policies: The Prime Minister has received praise for India’s economic resilience, global diplomacy, and handling of international relations, including climate action, strategic ties, and peacekeeping roles.

3. Massive Domestic Mandate: Domestically, Modi enjoys widespread support for his leadership style, delivery on welfare schemes, infrastructure development, digital transformation, and national security.

4. Symbol of Strong Leadership: In an era of fragmented political consensus globally, Modi is perceived as a decisive leader, especially in times of crisis — from pandemic management to geopolitical positioning.

How Other Leaders Compare

Here's a brief look at how other world leaders fared in comparison to PM Modi:

• Lee Jae-myung (South Korea): 59%

• Javier Milei (Argentina): 57%

• Mark Carney (Canada): 56%

• Donald Trump (USA): 44%

• Fumio Kishida (Japan): 41%

• Rishi Sunak (UK): 35%

• Emmanuel Macron (France): 31%

• Olaf Scholz (Germany): 29%

While several leaders are battling domestic challenges, Modi’s approval ratings continue to rise, showcasing a contrast in governance perceptions globally.

Political Reactions and National Sentiment

Within India, BJP leaders and party supporters have used this report as a reaffirmation of Modi's visionary leadership. It comes amid significant domestic milestones, such as India's performance on the global economic front, successful implementation of welfare schemes, and active participation in international alliances like the G20, QUAD, and BRICS.

The news also arrives in the backdrop of Modi recently becoming India’s second-longest serving Prime Minister, another feather in his cap that adds to his credibility and experience.

On social media, hashtags like #WorldsMostTrustedLeader and #ModiApproval75 trended as supporters celebrated the international recognition.

Conclusion: Modi’s Leadership Resonates Globally

The July 2025 Global Leader Approval Rating by Morning Consult affirms what has been evident in recent years — that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership resonates beyond India’s borders. His 75% approval rating is not just a statistic; it is a testament to the trust placed in him by millions worldwide.

At a time when geopolitical stability and public trust in governance are in flux, Modi’s sustained approval reflects India’s rising global role, and the people's faith in decisive, transparent, and resilient leadership.

If the trends continue, PM Modi may well set records for the most prolonged and consistent approval rating by any global leader in modern political history.
