According to the firm, PM Modi ranked number one with an approval rating of 69 per cent while Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador grabbed the second spot with an approval rating of 63 per cent.
“Ratings reflect a seven-day moving average of views among adults in each country surveyed,” the firm said on its website.
