High Point University Poll Coverage

High Point University surveyed 1,000 adults in North Carolina about their feelings about the twice-a-year time change. By a two-to-one margin, they'd prefer to stop doing it. Every year, North Carolina lawmakers file bills to do that, but it would take federal action to make it happen.

<p>IN JUST A MOMENT, WE'LL SEND THINGS BACK TO YOU GUYS FOR NOW. ALL RIGHT, MARK, THANK &gt;&gt; CHER SAID IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME AND THIS WEEKEND, WE ALL WILL SOME YOU HATE THIS. SOME OF YOU LOVE IT. BUT IT'S THE TIME TO CHANGE THE CLOCKS FROM DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME OVER TO STANDARD TIME AS WE FALL BACK ONE HOUR OVER THE YEARS. CRITICISM OVER CHANGING THE CLOCKS HAS REALLY RAMPED UP OUR CAPITOL BUREAU CHIEF LAURA LESLIE JOINS US LIVE FROM RALEIGH. AND LAURA, A NEW POLL SHOWS TWO-THIRDS OF NORTH CAROLINIANS ARE OVER THIS, BUT WHAT DO THEY PREFER? &gt;&gt; DO YOU KNOW? AND THIS IS WHY PEOPLE ARE OVER, RIGHT? WE'RE HERE AT THE DOG PARK AT DIX PARK. IT'S A REALLY POPULAR PLACE TO COME. BRING YOUR DOG FOR A RUN AFTER WORK. BUT BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK, IT'S GOING TO BE ALREADY GETTING DARK. A NEW POLL BY HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY ASKED NORTH CAROLINIANS THEIR OPINION ABOUT CHANGING CLOCKS AND 2 OUT OF 3 OF THEM SAID THEY'D PREFER TO JUST STOP DOING IT ALL EVERY YEAR. LAWMAKERS HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA FILED BILLS TO DO THAT, OF COURSE, BUT IT WILL TAKE FEDERAL ACTION TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. TO A HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY POLL, 67% OF RESPONDENTS SAID THEY'RE TIRED OF CHANGING THEIR CLOCKS. &gt;&gt; JUST 25% SAID THEY PREFER THE CURRENT SYSTEM. IF WE WERE TO PICK A TIME AND STICK WITH IT, WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU CHOOSE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. THE TIME WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW KEEPS IT LIGHT LATER IN THE EVENING. BUT IT'S DARKER IN THE MORNING. THAT'S THE SILLIEST SCOTT'S PICK. &gt;&gt; IT WILL BE GOOD IF WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF DOWNTOWN. AND, YOU KNOW, 1, 1, DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND THEN GET REST VERSUS GOING STRAIGHT TO IT OR STANDARD TIME. THE ONE WE'RE ABOUT TO SWITCH TO WITH AN EARLIER SUNRISE. BUT EARLIER DARKNESS, TOO. &gt;&gt; THAT'S WHAT SHARMAN DRIVER WOULD PREFER. I PERSONALLY LIKE MORE LATE MORNING. YEAH, I LIKE TO GET UP EARLY AND EXERCISE AND LET MY DOGS IN THE POLL. DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME WAS THE CLEAR WINNER OVERALL. 46 1% SAID THEY'D LIKE TO KEEP DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME. 21% SAID THEY'D RATHER KEEP STANDARD TIME. AMERICA HAS BEEN CHANGING OUR CLOCKS TWICE A YEAR FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY. HIGH POINT UNIVERSITY BUSINESS SCHOOL DEAN DANIEL HALL SAYS IT STARTED HERE DURING WORLD WAR. ONE AS A WAY TO CONSERVE ENERGY. BUT OUR ECONOMY IS DIFFERENT NOW AND IT COSTS US MONEY AND LOWER PRODUCTIVITY. I DON'T THINK IT PASSES A BIT OF A COST ANALYSIS ANYMORE. &gt;&gt; LIKE A LOT OF REGULATIONS ONCE THEY'RE ENACTED, THEY'RE HARD TO UNDO A FEDERAL LAW. THE UNIFORM TIME ACT OF 1966, KEEP STATES FROM OPTING OUT OF THE TIME CHANGE. BUT MANY WOULD LIKE TO IN MAY. THE NORTH CAROLINA HOUSE PASSED A BILL THAT WOULD KEEP US ON DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENTLY. IF CONGRESS CHANGES THE LAW TO ALLOW IT SPONSOR REPRESENTATIVE JASON SAINE HAS FILED THIS BILL EVERY SESSION FOR YEARS. BUT &gt;&gt; SOMETHING AND PASSION ABOUT ALL MY LIFE BECAUSE THE WAY THAT TIME CHANGE JUST MESSES UP MY INTERNAL CLOCK. HE HEARS A LOT ABOUT IT FROM CONSTITUENTS TO JUST GOT A TEXT. JUST REFER A COUPLE HOURS AGO SAYING PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. I KNOW YOU'RE WORKING ON. IT MEANT AND MAKE MY LIFE MISERABLE. &gt;&gt; MAKES MY DOGS MLIVE MISERABLE TO. I HAVE TO ADD TO THAT. BUT, YOU KNOW, THERE COULD BE SOME HOPE FOR THE HATERS LAST YEAR THE U.S. SENATE DID PASS A BILL THAT WOULD MAKE BASICALLY MAKE DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME PERMANENT. THE U.S. HOUSE, HOWEVER, DIDN'T TAKE IT UP. BUT SAME FEELS LIKE THERE'S MORE MOMENTUM THIS YEAR. &gt;&gt; TO ME IS I'VE ALREADY USE</p>
