| Policy Context | When this poll was conducted in late October 2025, it was almost time for the “fall back” from daylight savings time to standard time in the United States. Earlier in the year, the Sunshine Protection Act was re-introduced in the Senate. It would make daylight savings time permanent throughout the entire year. In April, President Trump expressed support for the concept. However, the Act faces resistance in Congress, where it and similar bills have repeatedly died over the decades since the U.S. aborted an experiment with all-year daylight savings time in 1974. |
