It is against the law to criticize the CCP in China. What mechanism did the pollsters and researchers use to overcome that?

Moreover, as with democracy, it is more than having the right to vote. It is also the right to know what your elected representatives are up to and what the state of the nation is. So if you ask people thoroughly drowning in state enforced propaganda from an early age what they think about something, you'll usually get what the propaganda machine told them to think.

I downloaded the report. It's a survey that does not seem to have had some way to overcome the reluctance to criticize when criticizing is against the law.

You have the option to stick with what the propaganda machine told to you to think.
