According to the latest surveys from Morning Consult Political Intelligence, WCIOM, and Gallup, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele currently holds the highest approval rating among world leaders, reaching an impressive 91% support.
The ranking places Bukele well ahead of his global counterparts. Russian President Vladimir Putin follows with 79%, while India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi holds 72%. South Korea’s Lee Jae-myung (58%) and Australia’s Anthony Albanese (57%) complete the top five.
Other leaders on the list include Argentina’s Javier Milei (55%), Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum (55%), and U.S. President Donald Trump at 45%. European leaders such as Italy’s Giorgia Meloni (40%), Spain’s Pedro Sánchez (34%), and France’s Emmanuel Macron (17%) appear much lower in the rankings.
The results underline Bukele’s unique global standing as the leader with the strongest domestic approval rating worldwide. Analysts highlight that his continued popularity reflects both his national policies and growing international attention toward El Salvador.
With world leaders’ ratings often fluctuating, Bukele’s consistent high numbers distinguish him on the global stage, reinforcing El Salvador’s visibility in international political discourse.
