According to a survey conducted by an American data intelligence firm, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a 66 percent approval rating, which puts him ahead of other world leaders. PM Modi will be on the menu of other global leaders, from thirteen countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, Australia, Brazil, France and Germany.
“MorningConsult, which tracks national ratings of the elected leaders of 13 countries, shows a 20-point slide over the past year in the proportion of Indians who approve of Mr Modi. Yet at 66% in early June, he still outperforms all the rest,” the firm tweeted.
The Morning Consult Global Leader Approval Rating Tracker, which was updated on Thursday and has a sample size of 2,126 adults in India, showed that 66% of those surveyed approved of PM Modi, while 28% disapproved.
Morning Consult’s Political Intelligence unit, which collects data through a “proprietary platform that provides real-time polling data on political elections,” shows that when the Modi government repealed Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir, his approval ratings were 82 percent, while disapproval ratings were only 11 percent.
The second position, according to Morning Consult, was bagged by Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi (65%), followed by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador (63%), Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison (54%), German Chancellor Angela Merkel (53%), US President Joe Biden (53%), Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (48%), UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson (44%), South Korean President Moon Jae-In (37%), Spanish Spain Pedro Sánchez (36%), Brazilian President Jaire Bolsonaro (35%), French President Emmanuel Macron (35%) and Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga (29%).
The daily global survey data is based on a “seven-day moving average of all adults in a particular country with a margin of error of between +/- 1-3 percent,” according to Morning Consult. “All of the interviews are done online with nationally representative adult samples. (In India, the sample is representative of the population that is literate.) “On its website, it stated.
The surveys are weighted in each country by age, gender, region, and education breakdowns in certain countries, according to official government sources, according to Morning Consult. “In the United States, surveys are also weighted by race and ethnicity. Respondents complete these surveys in languages appropriate for their countries,” it added.
