President Donald Trump is more now than before he sent the global markets into a frenzy by enacting sweeping new tariffs.
According to a recent survey conducted by DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners, more than 1,000 registered voters were polled between March 31 and April 3, revealing a continuing strong popularity of the Republican party in the United States.
The poll found that Trump’s approval rating rose to 53 percent, a 4-point increase over last week when it was 49 percent.
Trump’s rising approval rating is surprising given the flak the White House has received over the tariff order signed Wednesday.
It is up by 13 points since March 7 among those aged 18 to 29.
Trump also saw a six-point increase in favorability among Democrats and independents, according to the survey.
The Republican’s support among black voters skyrocketed 17 points since last week, the poll found.
When it comes to Trump’s universal 10 percent tariff on all goods coming in from other countries, more Americans support the policy than oppose it.

One in three respondents (36 percent) support Trump’s 10 percent minimum tariff, the poll found.
Only 28 percent are opposed to the policy, while the remaining 36 percent were unsure.
Respondents also supported, by a slim margin, increasing tariffs on all goods from all foreign countries.
The results of the survey indicated that 39 percent of the participants were in favor of increasing tariffs on all products, while 37 percent disagreed with this approach. The remaining 24 percent were undecided on the matter.
Voters’ support for sweeping tariffs on China and the European Union has gone up since last month.
They also broadly support tariffs that impact specific sectors like aircraft, plastics, precious metals, iron and steel.
Although the survey found support for the new economic policy, the announcement may come at a steep price for U.S. citizens.
Advancing American Freedom, a conservative advocacy group, estimates that the Trump tariffs will cost American families more than $3,500 a year.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and his country have struck back at the U.S. tariffs on Friday, announcing that they will retaliate against the new U.S. policy with a 34 percent tariff
The analysis found that major purchases such as a new home or car could cost families $7,000 more.
Whether the tariffs will stick is seemingly still up for debate.
Trump posted on Truth Social Friday afternoon announcing negotiations with Vietnam to cut the tariffs on the Asian country to zero, indicating he is open to making deals.
‘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.,’ Trump wrote
‘I thanked him on behalf of our country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future,’ he continued.
China, however, retaliated against the U.S. on Friday by imposing 34 percent tariffz on goods coming from the U.S.
Officials in Beijing have slammed the move by Trump.
‘This practice of the U.S. is not in line with international trade rules, seriously undermines China’s legitimate rights and interests, and is a typical unilateral bullying practice,’ the Chinese Finance Ministry said in a statement.
Responding, Trump posted on social media slamming China for making the wrong decision.
‘China played it wrong, they panicked – the one thing they cannot afford to do!’ Trump wrote.
