Newsflash:  As of 20 January 2021, Rasmussen Reports has Trump at 51% approval.  Although their index of his approval is still negative, they measure him as having the approval of a majority of Americans, with approval now (barely) exceeding disapproval by a statistically significant amount.

I observe that as the Biden inauguration has approached, Trump’s numbers have slowly increased by a statistically significant amount.
You seem to be only considering the single poll from Rasmussen.  Look at all their previous polls: https://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/trump_administration/trump_approval_index_history

Also you should consider many pollsters instead of just one.  Here are the results of nearly every poll since he's been elected (although it doesn't include the ones that just came out today):



And how he compares to previous Presidents:



See but why use poll aggregators that weight different polling groups when you can just pick the polling group that favors your guy and then run with it to keep your narrative going.

It’d be too easy to do that when you can just lie yourself into your own views.

LOL.
