Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again topped the list of the world’s most trusted leaders. According to the latest Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Rating report, Modi has received an impressive 75% approval rating, putting him far ahead of other global leaders.
The survey was carried out between July 4 and 10, 2025, and included leaders from more than 20 countries.
Modi Tops the Global Charts Again
This isn’t the first time PM Modi has been ranked number one. He has been at the top of this list since September 2021, when his approval rating was 70%. It went up to 71% in early 2022 and reached 76% multiple times in 2023. In February 2024, his approval touched an all-time high of 78%.
This consistent popularity shows that Modi’s leadership continues to be trusted by people, both in India and across the world.

2nd: South Korea’s President Lee Jae-myung: 59%
3rd: Argentina’s President Javier Milei: 57%
4th: Canada’s Mark Carney: 56%
5th: Australia’s Anthony Albanese: 54%
8th: U.S. President Donald Trump: 44%
10th: Italy’s Giorgia Meloni: 40%
Compared to these leaders, Modi’s 75% approval puts him in a clear lead.
Why Modi Remains So Popular
PM Modi is seen as a strong and decisive leader. His focus on development, digital progress, welfare schemes, and global diplomacy has earned him praise not just within the country but also internationally.
In past reports, his disapproval rating was also among the lowest. For example, in September 2023, only 18% of people disapproved of him, which is the lowest in the global list.
India’s Global Image is Rising
Modi’s high approval rating also reflects India’s growing importance on the global stage. From G20 summits to international climate discussions, India’s voice has become stronger, and PM Modi has been at the center of that rise.
This global popularity shows that India is not just being noticed, it is being respected, and so is its leader.
