The New York Times: G7 leaders have approval ratings below 50 percent

The relatively weak approval ratings for President Biden and his Group of 7 partners highlight the fragility of free societies facing deep political divides, Report informs, citing The New York Times.

They come from far corners of the globe, speak different languages, span the ideological spectrum, and range in age from 43 to 80. But one thing President Biden and the other leaders of the Group of 7 meeting in Japan this weekend have in common? They’re not all that popular at home.

No G7 leader could muster the support of a majority. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni of Italy, elected just last fall, fared best with a 49 percent approval rating, according to Morning Consult, followed by Mr. Biden with 42 percent, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada with 39 percent, Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany with 34 percent, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak of Britain with 33 percent and Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan with 31 percent. President Emmanuel Macron of France trailed the pack with a dismal 25 percent.
