Prime Minister Narendra Modi continues to lead global approval ratings with a 75% approval rating, making him the most trusted and popular world leader according to the July 2025 Global Leader Approval Tracker by Morning Consult. Modi's popularity extends beyond India, reflecting strong leadership and global respect, as he has consistently held the top spot since 2021. South Korea's President Lee Jae-myung follows with 59% approval, and Argentina's Javier Milei ranks third with 57%. In contrast, U.S. President Donald Trump holds an eighth-place ranking with 44% approval, facing considerable disapproval domestically. French President Emmanuel Macron and Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala have some of the lowest approval ratings worldwide, with disapproval ratings reaching 74%, attributed to labor unrest and political scandals. These polls illustrate differing levels of public support for world leaders based on domestic and international perceptions during mid-2025.
