All of those hypothetical improvement numbers should be half the values that are quoted. e.g. going from 53 to 62 is an improvement of 9 point, not 18.

I think it's including the Democratic vote going down as one point and the Republican vote going up as another.

I know, but that's at best misleading, and I would say just plain wrong way to describe his improvement. Imagine, for example, that the vote was split between 4 candidates an he pulls equally from all of them.
