Reporter Niall Stanage at The Hill, explains how, despite almost complete negative coverage in the media, President Donald Trump continues to maintain his approval ratings, and even increase them slightly in the new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. Stanage writes:

President Trump’s approval rating is largely unchanged in the first polls to emerge after his widely criticized performance at last week’s joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin — and Democrats are scratching their heads.

An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released on Sunday showed Trump’s approval rating rising to 45 percent, his highest level in that poll since taking office. And an Economist/YouGov survey showed no significant deviation from Trump’s numbers the previous week.
