India's Modi Has The Highest Approval Rating Among World Leaders, France's Macron The Lowest

Public opinion of national leaders provides insight into a country's political climate. Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu visualizes global polling data to track how citizens perceive their heads of government. This month's edition compares world leader approval ratings for 24 countries as of July 2025. The data comes from Morning Consult, which tracks approval ratings based on public polling data across respective countries. The ratings were collected from July 4-10, 2025, and reflect a seven-day simple moving average of views among adults surveyed. India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a remarkable 75% approval rating, with only 18% disapproving of his leadership. In contrast, US President Donald Trump has a 44% approval rating and a 50% disapproval rate. French President Emmanuel Macron has one of the lowest ratings, with 18% approval and 74% disapproval, likely due to labor unrest and unpopular pension reforms. The Czech Republic's Prime Minister Petr Fiala shares similar ratings to Macron, following a no-confidence vote triggered by a bitcoin donation scandal. The approval ratings of national leaders can provide valuable insights into a country's political pulse.
