I don't think you can make this conclusion. Only 5% of those polled (and, again, all were "likely Republican primary voters") view themselves as very or somewhat liberal. Only 1% of those polled (so, 5 people) view themselves as "very liberal".
I think the conclusion that you can make is that 61% of likely Republican primary voters
who also consider themselves very liberal are very offended by this. But you can also make the following conclusions with the same level of certainty:
1. Those 5 likely Republican primary voters who view themselves as "very liberal" are delusional.
2. Those 5 likely Republican primary voters who view themselves as "very liberal" pressed 1 when they meant to press 5.
