PM Modi Most Popular Democratic Leader With 75% Approval Rating: Survey
The survey, which reflects public sentiment collected between July 4 and 10, 2025, shows PM Modi well ahead of his global counterparts. South Korean President Lee Jae-myung followed with a 59% approval rating. Argentine President Javier Milei secured the third spot with 57%.
The survey uses a rolling seven-day average to assess opinions among adult populations in each country. It is part of Morning Consult's ongoing Global Leader Approval Rating Tracker, which regularly measures the popularity of various democratic leaders.
According to the report, only 18% of respondents disapproved of PM Modi's leadership, while 7% remained undecided or gave no opinion. PM Modi, who secured a third consecutive term in May 2024, continues to enjoy a dominant position in global rankings, reflecting both his domestic popularity and growing international recognition.
US President Donald Trump, who returned to office last year, was ranked eighth, with only 44% expressing approval. As per reports, recent policy decisions, including controversial trade and domestic initiatives, may have affected his standing.
Here's a look at the top 10 names from the survey:
Narendra Modi (India): 75% approval, 7% no opinion, 18% disapproval
Lee Jae-myung (South Korea): 59% approval, 13% no opinion, 29% disapproval
Javier Milei (Argentina): 57% approval, 6% no opinion, 37% disapproval
Mark Carney (Canada): 56% approval, 13% no opinion, 31% disapproval
Anthony Albanese (Australia): 54% approval, 11% no opinion, 35% disapproval

Donald Tusk (Poland): 41% approval, 11% no opinion, 49% disapproval

This recognition for PM Modi also coincides with another milestone in his political journey. As of July 26, 2025, he has completed 4,079 days in office, surpassing Indira Gandhi to become India's second-longest serving Prime Minister in an uninterrupted term. PM Modi is behind only the country's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.
He is also the first and only non-Congress leader to have completed two full terms and been re-elected twice with a majority. This makes him the only non-Congress Prime Minister to independently secure a majority in the Lok Sabha.

‘Terror and sports cannot go together': Congress on Asia Cup matches against Pakistan
The Chandigarh Congress has opposed the proposed India-Pakistan cricket matches scheduled to be held during the Asia Cup in September, urging the Union Government to withhold clearance for the fixtures. The party has argued that 'terror and sports cannot go together,' questioning the moral and strategic logic behind resuming cricket ties with Pakistan. Rajiv Sharma, chief spokesperson of the Chandigarh Congress, said that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has agreed to play against Pakistan at a neutral venue. He said the people of Chandigarh and other places in the country are upset with what he termed an 'unwarranted agreement,' particularly at a time when Operation Sindoor, launched in response to cross-border terrorism, is still ongoing. 'It is extremely disappointing that while not a single perpetrator of the Pahalgam attack has been brought to justice, the cricket boards of both nations are moving towards friendly sporting ties,' Sharma said. He warned that Indian sponsors' funds could inadvertently benefit the Pakistan Cricket Board, which, he claimed, may use the money to further terror activities against India. The Congress leader also questioned the BCCI's rationale behind opting for a neutral venue to accommodate Pakistan's interests, stating that India holds the right to host the tournament and should not compromise its position. Calling the decision an 'insult to the self-respect of the people of Chandigarh and the nation,' Sharma urged Chandigarh MP Manish Tewari to raise the issue in Parliament. He also slammed the office-bearers of the Union Territory Cricket Association for their silence on the matter, accusing them of compromising national pride for personal or political gains.

PM Modi's Chola Tribute, Haridwar Temple Stampede, Maharashtra Welfare Scam & Thailand-Cambodia Clashes
On July 27, Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Gangaikonda Cholapuram in Tamil Nadu for the 'Aadi Thiruvathirai' celebrations honoring Rajendra Chola I. He released a commemorative coin for the emperor and announced grand statues for Rajaraja Chola and Rajendra Chola. The PM also launched development projects worth ₹4,800 crore in Thoothukudi, covering infrastructure and clean energy, and paid homage to soldiers on Kargil Vijay Diwas. A tragic stampede at Mansa Devi Temple in Haridwar left six dead and many injured. The chaos was reportedly triggered by rumors of an electric current near the temple stairs. Authorities are investigating the incident and have promised compensation to affected families. In a shocking misuse of Maharashtra's welfare scheme meant for women, over 14,000 men fraudulently enrolled and claimed ₹1,500 monthly benefits. The scam cost the state ₹21.44 crore. Payments to ineligible beneficiaries have been halted, and stricter verification measures are under review. Despite U.S. President Donald Trump's intervention, clashes resumed between Thailand and Cambodia over a border dispute. Over 30 have died and more than 200,000 people have been displaced. Both nations accuse each other of ceasefire violations, and tensions remain high. Script & Voiceover: Zeeshan Akhtar Editing: Zeeshan Akhtar
