Do you have data that includes non-voters? I haven't seen any; most polls are limited to voters.

There were tons of national polls done for Trump's approval that included all adults (instead of likely or registered voters). Trump fared noticeably worse in the polls of all adults throughout his presidency.

Approval isn't the same thing as preference among two choices. Trump received a considerably higher percentage of votes than his approval rating.
