Survey Monkey conducts non-scientific polls done via the internet by people who self select. According to the disclaimer for the specific survey mentioned, "Respondents for this non-probability survey were selected from the nearly three million people who take surveys on the SurveyMonkey platform each day." In short, that means no value whatsoever should be given to their results, unless you count entertainment value. Perhaps the Register-Guard does, but for their own reasons doesn't choose to reveal that to its readers when they choose to use such a survey in forming their editorial opinions. For shame.

Also, it's referred to properly as the Medal of Honor. Congress authorized the President to award the Medal of Honor, but otherwise has no part in awarding it other than funding it. People can place whatever value they wish upon these most valorous men speaking in support of Mr. Trump. Many regular soldiers seem to support him as well.
