Their commentary might not be objective, but there is nothing wrong with their polls from the various pollsters. They're not the ones doing the polls and defining the methodology of the polls they cite. If you want to surf around, you can go to the pollster's own web sites to confirm the RCP site's numbers.
Even considering the difference between "likely" and "registered" voters, the Bloomberg number still seems too large. The methodology of selecting the pool of likely voters from the sample pool could be in error. What questions were asked and the various weight given to those questions are all in play while determining who is and who isn't a likely voter.
