The 0.8% wasn't the result of the poll. That is the actual, factual number. The polling part was what democrats and republicans think is percentage of people who catch covid end up in the hospital for covid (both were way too high, 41% of democrats thought your chances were over 50%, while 22% of republicans thought there was an over 50% chance of going to the hospital).

It was 1-5% chance of hospitalization for the unvaccinated, compared to less than 1% for the vaccinated. You should do more reading as well. Democrats were more likely to accurately guess the hospitalization rates for vaccinated individuals and Republicans were more likely to know the number for unvaccinated ones. Wonder why that is?
