These are the most (and least) popular world leaders

Barack Obama has been named as the most popular world leader in a global poll of 63,000 people.

Respondents in 65 countries were asked face-to-face, online and in telephone interviews how favourably they viewed each politician.

Obama proved to be the most popular of the ten leaders surveyed in the WIN/Gallup poll, while Iranian president Hassan Rouhani proved to be the least popular.

Prime Minister David Cameron was most popular in Vietnam, and least popular in Palestinian territories, as the below charts show:
