Between March 31 and April 3, an exclusive DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners survey of more than 1,000 registered voters revealed that the former president is still very popular in the United States. According to the poll, Trump’s approval rating increased to 53 percent, up 4 points from 49 percent the previous week.
Trump’s growing popularity rating is unexpected given the harsh criticism the White House has received for the tariff order that was signed on Wednesday.
Since March 7, his approval rating has increased by 13 points among voters between the ages of 18 and 29. According to the survey, Trump’s popularity among Democrats and independents also increased by six points, as reported by DailyMail.com.
Notably, since last week, his support among black voters has increased by 17 points. Additionally, more Americans are in favor of his universal 10 percent tariff on all imports than are against it.
According to the poll, only 28% of respondents are against Trump’s proposed 10% minimum tariff, according to 36% of respondents who are unsure. Additionally, 39 percent of registered voters supported raising tariffs on all imported goods, compared to 37 percent opposed, and 24 percent were undecided.
Since last month, there has also been an increase in support for broad tariffs that target the European Union and China. Voters also generally supported tariffs on certain industries, such as steel, iron, plastics, precious metals, and airplanes.
Countries are stepping up in response to the tariffs, offering to reduce or remove their own on imports from the United States.
Trump declared on Friday that To Lam, the leader of Vietnam, is prepared to remove tariffs in order to avoid penalizing the Southeast Asian country for new U.S. duties placed on its imports.
“I just had a very fruitful call with To Lam, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam, and he informed me that if they can reach an agreement with the United States, Vietnam wants to reduce their tariffs to zero.” On behalf of our nation, I thanked him and expressed my eagerness for a meeting soon,” Trump wrote.
The call’s news, which Trump shared on social media, caused stocks of businesses that manufacture some of their products in Vietnam to rise. For instance, Nike’s stock increased by over 4%. Earlier this week, the Trump administration imposed 46% tariffs on Vietnam. According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump stated on Friday that he was looking forward to meeting with To Lam soon.
Trump has received a very positive report card from American employers and job board leaders nearly a year into his presidency, stating that they think the economy “can win now,” despite the fact that it hasn’t “started to win yet.”
TaChelle Lawson, founder and author of FIG Strategy & Consulting and a Freedom Economy Index (FEI) respondent, told Fox News Digital, “I would give President Trump, right now, a pretty solid B+.”
