The heads of state of America, Canada and Australia remained far behind

President of Mexico at number two, PM of Italy at number three

Narendra Modi was on top in November too
Even before this, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has left other leaders behind in the popularity list of world leaders. In November last year also, he was selected at number one in the Most Popular World Leaders Survey.

Modi’s rating is still lower than in 2020
Even though Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been at number one this time also getting the highest approval rating, but his rating has still come down compared to the year 2020. Morning Consult in its May 2020 report gave PM Modi an approval rating of 84%, while the website downgraded his rating to 63% in May 2021.
