As per the agency's website, the latest approval ratings are based on the data gathered from January 30 to February 5.
In the month of December, the survey showed that PM Modi had an approval rating of 76 per cent.
A consistent triumph for Modi
Prime Minister Modi has consistently secured the top position in these global rankings, maintaining an approval rating between 75-80 per cent over the past several years, reports said.
These approval ratings also come following big victories for PM Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in state elections in Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Chhattisgarh last year. The triumphs are viewed as a boost for PM Modi and his party as they look ahead to the general elections scheduled in the next few months.
