President Donald J. Trump’s approval rating rose a few points between March 30 and April 3, according to a new poll conducting by DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners.

The poll showed a four point increase within the week, while Trump was preparing to set off the world markets by imposing new tariffs on what he called ‘Liberation Day.’

The rating increased from 49% to 53%, according to the poll.

The president showed growth in demographics that may surprise some people as well.

His rating with adults age 18 to 29 increased 13 points since March 7. Furthermore, his ratings among independents and Democrats increased six points, according to the survey.

Trump’s trade war caused stocks to plummet for a second day in a row on April 4, after China announced 34% retaliatory tariffs on American goods, marking the worst two-day streak for Wall Street since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

At the end of Friday’s trading session, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 5.5%, the S&P 500 shed 5.97%, and the tech-heavy NASDAQ was down 5.82%.

Minutes before the closing bell, Trump posted on social media, “ONLY THE WEAK WILL FAIL!”
