The methodology
The approval rating rankings position US President Joe Biden at the 8th spot, while UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak finds himself at the 13th position among 22 world leaders. The latest ratings are based on data collected from the 7th to the 13th of this month. The methodology involves calculating a seven-day moving average of responses from adult residents in each country, with sample sizes varying depending on the country. It is worth noting that Prime Minister Modi had previously held the top position in the ratings as well.
PM Modi's enduring popularity
PM Modi's consistent high approval ratings reflect his enduring popularity among the Indian populace. The accomplishments and policies of his government resonate positively with a significant majority of the population, solidifying his position as a highly regarded leader on the global stage.
While these approval ratings provide an insight into public sentiment towards world leaders, it is important to acknowledge that public opinion can fluctuate over time, influenced by a multitude of factors. Nonetheless, PM Modi's continued strong performance in these ratings highlights the widespread support he enjoys both domestically and internationally.
