Public opinion of national leaders can offer insight into the political pulse of a country.
Every month, Visual Capitalist's Marcus Lu will be visualizing global polling data tracking how citizens perceive their heads of government.
In this month’s edition, we compare world leader approval ratings for 24 countries as of July 2025.
The data for this visualization comes from Morning Consult. It tracks world leader approval ratings based on public polling data across respective countries.
Ratings were collected from July 4-10, 2025, and reflect a trailing seven-day simple moving average of views among adults surveyed.
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi comes out on top with a remarkable 75% approval rating. His recent re-election in 2024 reaffirmed domestic confidence, buoyed by strong economic indicators and assertive foreign policy.
Only 18% of Indians disapprove of his leadership, reflecting sustained popularity over a decade in power (Modi’s premiership began on May 26, 2014).
In contrast, U.S. President Donald Trump holds 44% approval, with a 50% disapproval rate. Since returning to office in 2024, he has faced criticism over economic volatility and divisive policy shifts.
Even worse off is French President Emmanuel Macron, posting one of the lowest ratings at 18% approval and 74% disapproval. This is likely tied to ongoing labor unrest and unpopular pension reforms.
The Czech Republic’s Prime Minister, Petr Fiala, shares similar ratings as Macron. In June, his government survived a no-confidence vote triggered by a bitcoin donation scandal which saw Justice Minister Pavel Blažek resign.

Wow. Mex surpasses US?
I can believe that people around the globe (aka globalists) don’t like Trump. He makes them participate fairly with us and they don’t quite know how to handle that fact.
I’m glad President Trump got us off the top of the “go to suckers” list. It’s time for the freeloading countries of the world to go somewhere else to mooch from. This is the best news I’ve seen in a long time. I know the clown running India who can’t keep his own population from haulin’ ass to America will be a big help to those seeking free handouts.
For Scandanavian countries being among the “happiest” on the planet, they sure are unhappy with their governmental leaders.
And This Means...What?
Good numbers for Trump by our prickly standards
RE: And This Means...What?
Well, isn’t this an indicator of how they’ll do when elections come?
Where are Putin and Zelensky?
Over there?

I think Trump is at 50% because he’ll poll higher with Black men and Asians.
Only if you think Polls (at this stage) Mean Anything.
