Daylight-saving time is one of the most controversial and impossible issues of our age

• 62% percent of Americans want to stop changing clocks, but don't agree on a permanent solution.
• No policy — permanent daylight-saving time, permanent standard time, keep switching back and forth — is near a majority.
• Americans say they want morning safety and better sleep, but prefer policies that harm that.

The annual spring forward to daylight-saving time is coming up this weekend for most Americans, resparking the decades-old debate about what to do about our clocks. New data from a YouGov poll indicates that this issue may be fundamentally unsolvable, with Americans locked into contradictory positions.
