"Everything suggests that we have had a sound election. Looking at the percentages we are at pretty much the same level as we had last time, where we got around a quarter of the votes," Rasmussen told DR.
According to Roger Buch, a researcher from the Danish School of Media and Journalism, it is the worst result for Venstre since 1989.
"You can almost call it historically bad when you need to go back for more than 25 years to find a worse result," Buch was quoted as saying by Danish news agency Ritzau.
The government's ally Danish People's Party saw its vote share slip 1.3 percent to 8.8 percent, contrary to some predictions ahead of the elections.
The voter turnout was 70.8 percent, slightly lower than the record high of 71.9 percent in 2013.
On Tuesday, Danes went to 1,387 polling stations across the country to elect representatives of local parliaments and city councils.
More than 11,000 candidates contested 2,432 seats in 98 municipal councils and 205 seats in five regional councils through two elections on the same day.
Under Danish laws, local municipalities are responsible for daily local administration and public service while welfare and healthcare are the main focuses of regional councils.
Local elections in Denmark are held every four years on the third Tuesday in November. Statistics show that since 1970 the turnout for the local elections has been stable at around 70 percent.
