President Donald Trump has seen a surge in popularity following his sweeping new tariffs that recently rocked global markets.
According to an exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of over 1,000 registered voters conducted between March 31 and April 3, the former president remains widely favored in the U.S. The poll revealed that Trump’s approval rating climbed to 53 percent—a 4-point jump from last week’s 49 percent.
Trump’s rising approval rating comes as a surprise amid the significant criticism the White House received over the tariff order signed Wednesday.
Among voters aged 18 to 29, his approval has surged by 13 points since March 7. Additionally, Trump experienced a six-point boost in favorability among Democrats and independents, according to the survey, DailyMail.comreported.
Notably, his support among black voters soared by 17 points since last week. Furthermore, when it comes to his universal 10 percent tariff on all imported goods, more Americans support the policy than oppose it.
The poll revealed that 36 percent of respondents support Trump’s 10 percent minimum tariff, while only 28 percent oppose it, with the remaining 36 percent undecided. And when asked about increasing tariffs on all imported goods, 39 percent of registered voters were in favor, compared to 37 percent against, and 24 percent remained unsure.
Support for broad tariffs targeting China and the European Union has also risen since last month. Additionally, voters expressed general backing for tariffs on specific sectors, including aircraft, plastics, precious metals, iron, and steel.
Meanwhile, nations are stepping up and responding to the tariffs by offering to lower or eliminate theirs on U.S. imports.
Trumpannouncedon Friday that Vietnamese leader To Lam is willing to eliminate tariffs to avoid punishing new U.S. duties imposed on the Southeast Asian nation’s imports.
“Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S. I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future,” Trumpwrote.
