You have it the same for registered and likely.

One thing that is troubling about these polls is that they used the voter files of actual registered voters rather than the telephone book and self-reported registration like most public pollsters. The voter file method is generally considered more accurate and is used by pollsters who do internal polls for campaigns.

So if that is the reason for the difference with other polls, these are not good news.
