I live in Tempe, Arizona. We don’t “spring forward or fall back”. We stay the same time year round. From late spring to Halloween it’s really hot here. Even at 5AM it’s hot. We don’t want more sunshine because it means more heat. However, we do have to worry about what the rest of the country is doing. AND during DST for the rest of the country, I wonder why some of the TV shows I watch come on an hour earlier while others come on and hour later.

One more thing, if your business or personal lifestyle doesn't jive with day and night how about changing your hours instead of thinking the world revolves around you and wanting everybody else to change the clock to false times.

chuckstar19 is correct. Y'all asked two different questions, you tricky shucksters! IMHO the entire country needs to accept the reality of Standard Time. As it is, I am always confused traveling the country and trying to be on time for appointments when everybody is doing their own thing.
What I do at home keep a clock set to actual high noon time. Just like the good old days. Noon is when the sun is at it's highest point of the day. What a concept! In Hickman Co. that time is + 15 min of CST or - 45 min of CDT.

I would definitely love to stay on spring forward all year long. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s dark in the morning. I want it to stay light later, so school kids can play outside year round. Grillers can see to grill. More light in the evening would be great for TN!

I’d rather stay on Central STANDARD Time year round.

My state representative brought this to the house floor just last month but it got shot down. I'd love to stay on the same time year around personally.
The Rooster Crows at Dawn - 6 years ago
I was born on a farm years and years ago. It doesn't matter what the Gubment clock sez the rooster still crows at dawn, the cow still has to be milked and the eggs gathered.
While we are at it I also want my 3 gallon toilet back instead of this Al Gore toilet that I have to flush 3 times. I want my 25 cent light bulbs back instead of the $5 Al Gore bulbs that I cannot see by. I want our government funded by import/export tariffs like it was for over 100 years before the politicians came up with this TEMPORARY Federal Income Tax. I want my money backed by silver and gold like it was before the politicians gave us the Federal Reserve that is neither Federal and has no Reserve. I want the Federal Reserve abolished where the 1913 SECRET Jekyll Island agreement turned our economy over to banks and corporations with their Fractional Reserve banking system.
I might as well be counting chicken teeth as to hope this nation will ever turn around. Any nation stupid enough to elect a Communist Muslim from Kenya doesn't deserve to prosper.

Technically we're on DST all year around. It's just a matter of which DST we stay on.. The Fall back time or the Spring foward time. Falling back it gets dark at 5 or 530.. Spring ahead it gets dark closer to 8. So it's just a matter of which time people prefer to stay on.. Personally.. I would like to stay on Spring forward time because it gets dark later.

People are delusional to think that we're losing an hour and gaining an hour of sleep. Keep dreaming. I don't see a difference. Spring forward and leave it ALONE!!!!!

correction to my previous comment: it would be dark at 5:30pm in December if we stayed on DST year round.

You asked 2 different questions? Your Poll asked if you would like to stay on Daylight saving Time all year round? While above it you asked: "News 2 wants to know…Should Tennessee do away with daylight saving time?" The latter is what we will be switching to on Sunday morning while the former refers to Standard time that we are currently observing. You need to clarify that by pointing out if we stayed on DST year round it would be dark at 3:30pm in December rather than 4:30pm as it now stands & if we stayed on Standard time year round it would get dark at 7:30pm in June rather than 8:30pm.

Changing the clock was another great idea forced upon us by progressive politicians.
