It's no secret that there are teams in the NFL that it seems everybody love to hate. According to a new poll conducted by Public Policy Polling, the New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys are the two least-favorite teams in America. The poll surveyed what were described as 410 "self-described NFL football fans" and found that the Patriots and Cowboys represent the two teams that America likes least.
"Every time we've done a poll over the years on the most hated team in the NFL the Cowboys have won out. But this year there's a new sheriff in town- 23% of fans say the Patriots are their least favorite team with the Cowboys dropping to second at 20% and no one else in double digits. It may be nice for the Cowboys to have dropped to only second most hated but we also asked if people still consider them to be America's team and only 27% of fans do, to 64% who say they don't deserve that designation. The most popular team in the NFL." The poll's report stated.
This poll was conducted on Feb. 2, and it also measured the most popular teams with fans — the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 opponent, the Carolina Panthers checked in at 13% popularity behind the Green Bay Packers who had 15% popularity.
