A survey conducted by PEW has found that about 80 per cent of Indians have favorable view of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2023. According to the Pew survey, only 5% of Indians had an unfavourable assessment of PM Modi.

According to the study, views on India are most favourable in Israel, where 71% of people claim to think favourable of the nation.

Pew said the survey was conducted from February 20 to May 22, among 30,861 adults in 24 countries, including 2,611 from India, to examine global views of Prime Minister Modi, the scope of India's global power and Indians' views of other countries.

About eight in 10 Indians report "favourable" views of PM Modi, including a majority (55 per cent) with a "very favourable" view, according to the survey result released on Tuesday. According to the Pew survey, only 5% of Indians had an unfavourable assessment of PM Modi in 2023.
