How do polling companies "push" those polled?

They subject those who answer undecided to a follow-up question leaning on them to select a candidate.  

They're like salesmen who don't take the first "no" as real.

Many respondents get fed up with this, and simply discontinue the poll (non-completes), and their imput is not included.

I believe I have found the flaw in ODs recent methodology.

I'd like to see their breakout (demographically) of self-identified Democrats.

The Democrat split is unrealistic.

No Republican party Presidential nominee since World War II has received less than 12% of the vote from self-identified Democrats, and no Democrat Presidential nominee in the same period has received more than 87%.

I wonder what the results to questions 39-41, and 45-46 were?
