I guess Rasmussen was incorrect that Trump had reached 50% approval rating...

Since the election, Trump's approval ratings have fallen off a cliff, down to 38% average of all polls with one poll having him at 29%. Meanwhile Biden's approval rating is higher than Trump's was at any point in time, 55%.

What kind of fake poll would ever show trumpy at +50? That poll would be about as fake as showing president Obama under 50.
