How do you feel about the "time change?" I love the fact we can enjoy those 10pm North Dakota sunsets during the summer, but most American's say they are tired of the time change we do twice a year.
Results done in a Gallup poll:
The survey shows that more than half (54%) are ready to do away with the bi-annual time adjustment.
- But people are divided about where they want the clocks to stay.
- When asked to choose between three options, 48% say they want standard time year-round, even during the summer.
- A quarter (24%) want to stick with daylight saving time all year, including the winter.
- And 19% would prefer to keep switching back and forth between the two.
- This means more than seven in 10 Americans would rather not have any clock changes during the year.
- This poll is the first time Gallup has asked Americans’ opinions about daylight saving time since 1999, and support for it has tanked in the decades since.
- Back in 1999, 73% were in favor of daylight saving time, and in 1990, 74% supported it.
