Earlier in January 2022 and in November 2021 as well Prime Minister Modi had topped the list of the most popular world leaders.

How do these ratings work?

This platform that calculates the ratings for global leaders provides real-time polling data on political elections, elected officials and voting issues. Morning Consult conducts more than 20,000 global interviews daily.

The global leader and country trajectory data is based on a seven-day moving average of all adults in a given country, with a margin of error of between +/- 1-4 per cent.

In India, the sample is representative of the literate population. Surveys are weighted in each country by age, gender, region and, in certain countries, education breakdowns based on official government sources.
