Dolphins fan confidence ticks up as Chiefs loom in Week 3

Following an 0-2 start to the year with an average losing margin of 18 points, the Miami Dolphins are transitioning their roster toward younger athletes as part of a total rebuild. Despite these early struggles and the team functioning as double-digit underdogs against the Kansas City Chiefs ahead of their upcoming home opener, local supporters are maintaining an optimistic outlook regarding the organization's trajectory.

According to recent polling data, Miami supporter positivity started the preseason at 80 percent and slipped to 79 percent by the opening week. Following a subsequent defeat against the Las Vegas Raiders, positive sentiment dropped to 63 percent, but it rebounded slightly to 65 percent leading into the matchup with Kansas City, even after a recent loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
