What Rasmussen does this far out is poll likely voters whereas all other polls do not. Rasmussen does have a slight Republican lean, but nothing to get up in arms about. There's three category of election or approval polling, all adults, registered voters and likely voters. The polls on Trump's approval which are all adults shows an average of 41% approval. We know the historical average is that 45% of them don't vote.
The second category is registered voters, Registered voters give Trump an average of 43%. There are six polls done within the last week that polled just registered voters. Going by historical averages around 35% of these while registered to vote, won't vote.
The last category is likely voters, an average of 20% of these type don't vote. Rasmussen so far is the only polling firm polling likely voters in Trump's approval numbers. That will change when we get closer to the election. More polling firms will move away from all adults to registered voters and then to likely voters. But not this far out.
So how does the nation as a whole feel about Trump, 43% approve, 53% disapproves. But 45% of the nation as a whole won't go to the polls to vote or to register their approval or disapproval come Nov 2020. This does however give you an accurate numbers of how every American feels about Trump.
Rasmussen however let's us know approximately how just those who will go vote feels. Not the nation as a whole, but those who will actually go to the polls. The difference is important when doing election forecasts. You see the difference or disconnect in the hypothetical head to head match ups between Trump and the democratic contenders for the nomination. They're very close, Trump leading some, other usually Biden and Sanders leading Trump. But they're all very close.
Bottom line, by an average of 10 points all Americans dislike Trump more than they like him. But when it comes to those who vote, it is fairly even among those who like and dislike Trump.
