The Ricketts family, which owns the Chicago Cubs, has made the shortlist of bidders to buy the football club.
The Chelsea Supporters' Trust said it is against the family's bid.
It did not say how many members took part but that "72% of those who responded do not currently have confidence that the Ricketts family would run an inclusive and successful club, with 5% of respondents believing they would". "The CST board is guided by our membership, and thus we do not currently believe it is in the best interests of our members for the Ricketts family's bid to succeed."
"Over the past fortnight, our bid team has met with several supporter groups to explain our vision for Chelsea Football Club," said Tom Ricketts.
