Poll: Should Daylight Saving Be Scrapped?

Voices are heard every six months calling for abolition of "spring forward, fall back" chore.

The twice-a-year chore known as “spring forward, fall back” returns at Saturday night, when Californians set their clocks ahead for the sake of Daylight Saving Time. It takes effect at 2 a.m. Sunday—amid grumbling and calls for abolition.

For folks crossing the border, it’s a resumption of a twice-a-year headache. Mexico doesn’t switch to DST until the first Sunday in April, which means a one-hour time difference for binational folks.

Most of Arizona, meanwhile, ignores Daylight Saving Time, further confusing travelers without automatic time-resetting devices.
