Yesterday most of us had to turn our clocks ahead an hour for the end of Daylight Saving, and it’s pretty apparent that nobody really wants to do that anymore. A new YouGov poll finds:

  • 63% of Americans would like to eliminate changing the clocks.
  • That’s true for 67% of both Democrats and Republicans.
  • Also, 77% of those over 65 think we should stop, although surprisingly, only 42% of those under 30 feel that way.
  • Overall, 34% were not looking forward to changing the clocks this past weekend, while 21% were, and 38% didn’t care.

But if we did stop changing the clocks, which time would most people prefer to have in the U.S.?

  • 48% of people would prefer to stick with Daylight Saving, meaning clocks are “sprung forward” for a later sunset.
  • Only 29% would prefer to stick with Standard Time permanently.
  • 51% of Democrats and 47% of Republicans would rather have Daylight Saving, while 29% of Dems and 28% of Republicans would rather have Standard Time.
  • Those under 30 are split, with 39% preferring Daylight Saving, and 37% preferring Standard Time.
  • As for other generations:
  • 46% of those 30 to 44 would prefer Daylight Saving, while 24% would rather stick with Standard Time.
  • 50% of those over 65 would prefer Daylight Saving, while 30% would rather stick with Standard Time.
