There are sharp racial and gender differences in Clinton supporters acceptance of the results. Only 18 percent of whites who supported Clinton say Trump is not the legitimate winner, identical to the public overall, but fully 51 percent of black, Hispanic and other nonwhite Clinton supporters say Trumps victory was illegitimate. Women who supported Clinton are twice as likely as men to question the legitimacy of Trumps victory, 42 vs. 21 percent...
In the Post-ABC poll, nearly all of Trumps supporters say he was elected legitimately, 99 percent, also marking a turnabout in confidence from one week ago when only 69 percent said they were prepared to accept the results of the election.

Edit: The anti-democratic attitudes of Trump supporters, and their lack of shame about it, really came through with the part that I put in bold!
So what if a Democrat received 75% of the vote someday?!
"Sorry! Our guy won the electoral college and it's totally legitimate! You lost fair and square!"
Such a-holes!
