NEW DELHI, Aug 3: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has once again emerged as the most popular leader across the world, leaving behind US President Joe Biden and newly appointed UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The latest rankings were released by Morning Consult, a global decision intelligence firm that tracks the major decisions of global leaders. The survey is based on data collected from July 8-14. According to the firm, PM Modi ranked number one with an approval rating of 69 per cent while Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador grabbed the second spot with an approval rating of 63 per cent.
"Ratings reflect a seven-day moving average of views among adults in each country surveyed," the firm said on its website.

Notably, in previous surveys too, PM Modi had topped the global ratings. At the same time, the approval ratings of other big global leaders are at a modest level.
