I just tracked down the poll for the internals. This was neither registered or likely.

I think the poll was for the purpose of shoring up Hillary's support.

Reuters shows results fo both "all respondents" and "likely voter".

However, if the Reuters poll showed it a tie in mid May, and found Hillary double digits ahead now -- something is wrong with their poll. (The one in mid May, the one now, or both. IIRC Reuters was the first one to show Trump and Clinton essentially tied and I blew it off at the time.)

BTW, THIS is "Reuters Polling Explorer" methodology: http://thomsonreuters.com/en/articles/2013/new-interactive-tool-launched-reuters-polling-explorer.html:

"Instead of using telephones to gather results on a semi-regular basis, we partnered with the research firm Ipsos and opted to reach a huge number of mostly pre-screened respondents online. The result is that we have not only polled far more people than a traditional telephone survey can reach, but we've been polling continuously for more than a year and a half, asking hundreds of questions of about 11,000 people every month."

Caveat emptor. I'm not sure what this poll shows, or doesn't show.
