DITTMAN RESEARCH POLL DATA

ABOLISH DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME IN ALASKA

THE 2004 DITTMAN RESEARCH POLL DATA

THE SURVEY QUESTION: In early April, Alaska switched to Daylight Saving Time. In October , we will adjust our clocks and switch back again. What is your opinion about that- do you support Alaska switching to Daylight Saving Time for the summer and then switching back in the fall, or should we leave our clocks the same throughout the year?
