Chicago readers favor permanent standard time in Axios poll

Earlier this week, we looked at President Trump's push to make daylight saving time permanent and what it could mean for Chicagoans, including winter sunrises after 8am. We also asked readers whether they'd prefer permanent daylight saving time, permanent standard time or sticking with the twice-yearly clock changes. The results: More than 340 readers weighed in, and the answers were all over the clock! Permanent standard time led with 41% of the vote, followed by permanent daylight saving time (35%) and keeping the current system (24%). Chart: Justin Kaufmann/Axios A quick refresher: Permanent standard time would mean earlier summer sunrises and sunsets, while permanent daylight saving time would mean later winter sunrises and sunsets. In Chicago, permanent daylight saving time would push winter sunrises past 8am, while permanent standard time would mean summer sunsets an hour earlier than they are today. What they're saying: Readers had plenty of thoughts about the annual clock-changing ritual. Some defended it, others wanted it gone, and a few made us laugh. "Given how divisive this issue is, perhaps we should split the year half-and-half between standard time and daylight saving time so that everyone gets a bit of what they want…oh wait." — Alexa
