FollowNew Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has topped the global leader approval ratings among thirteen world leaders surveyed by US-based global leader approval tracker Morning Consult.
As per the survey, updated on September 2, PM Modi is at 70% ahead of German Chancellor Angela Merkel, US President Joe Biden, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.
PM Modi also has the lowest disapproval rating among adults as of the adults surveyed in India, 25% disapproved of him.
The report also throws light on his approval rating that has increased in the last two months as his approval rating was 66% in June. However, Modi enjoyed a record high rating of 84%, the data also showed that in May 2020.
According to the survey, the PM's disapproval rating had reached a peak in May 2021 when the second wave of the Covid hit the country hard.
Meanwhile, US president Joe Biden’s approval rating has been low after the withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan. Many Americans are unhappy over the US’ policy in Afghanistan with a significant section calling US’ role as a “failure".
Net approval ratings are calculated by subtracting the day’s disapproval ratings from the approval ratings. Negative net approval ratings indicate that most people are dissatisfied with the leader.
The Morning Consult calculates the approval and disapproval rating “based on a seven-day moving average of all adults in a given country with a margin of error of between +/- 1-3%”. Online interviews of approximately 2,126 adults were sampled for the data on India.
This has come barely two weeks before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday, which will be celebrated on September 17.
