Submission + - Daylight Saving Time Preferences (poll) (gallup.com) 2
superposed writes: Daylight Saving Time is a perennial flashpoint on Slashdot that is coming up again this weekend in the U.S.. Gallup reports that most Americans prefer to eliminate DST but they canâ(TM)t agree on which alternative to adopt. In other words, there is no majority support for any of the three options: switch twice a year, permanent standard time, or permanent advanced time.
Each of these has downsides. I suspect that DST is a solid second-choice winner that canâ(TM)t get a plurality, but might win in anti-plurality voting (everyoneâ(TM)s least-bad choice).
To assess that, please choose the poll item that best matches your ranking of most-preferred to least-preferred option. Then we can hash out a winner via instant-runoff or anti-plurality voting in the comments (they will probably differ).
A. Standard, Advanced, DST
B. Advanced, Standard, DST
C. Standard, DST, Advanced
D. Advanced, DST, Standard
E. DST, Standard, Advanced
F. DST, Advanced, Standard
