NEW YORK (AP) A new poll from The Associated Press and GfK says that the quarter of Americans who are following this year's NCAA men's basketball tournament believe the Gators are the overwhelming favorites to win it all.
Twenty-nine percent of those with at least some interest in March Madness think Billy Donovan's Florida team will take home this year's crown.
The poll also found about 5 percent of Americans are following news about the tournament extremely closely, 6 percent are following very closely and 14 percent somewhat closely.
The AP-GfK poll was conducted online March 20-24 among 1,019 adults from a probability-based panel. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.
