... but there's a difference between being "illegitimate" and "unacceptable."

If the poll had been conducted correctly they would have asked the questions in a less confusing way.

If Trump's Presidency is truly illegitimate then he was never elected President, and the election was done incorrectly/illegally. The Supreme Court would be the only body to rule on that, and to set out a procedure for getting a new President elected.

On the other hand, if Trump is the legitimate President, but his behavior is unacceptable, then he can be removed by impeachment. There are laws in place to determine the next steps for impeachment/trial.
