Simple hypothesis testing

Nour wants to go on a popular talent TV show. In order to be accepted, her audition must get at least 60%60\% positive votes from the people in the crowd. She was afraid she will not get enough votes, so she made a video of her act and showed it to 100100 random people from the crowd before the show. 54%54\% of the people said they would vote for her.
Let's test the hypothesis that the actual percentage of positive votes among the crowd is 60%60\% versus the alternative that the actual percentage is lower than that.
The table below sums up the results of 10001000 simulations, each simulating a sample of 100100 votes, assuming there are 60%60\% positive votes.
According to the simulations, what is the probability of getting a sample with 54%54\% positive votes or less?
Let's agree that if the observed outcome has a probability less than 1%1\% under the tested hypothesis, we will reject the hypothesis.
What should we conclude regarding the hypothesis?
