Americans taking early time change in stride
By MSN Tech & Gadgets and Zogby staff
Americans’ clocks will spring forward three weeks earlier this year (2 a.m. Sunday, March 11), but more than half of Americans (54%) say they’re relaxed and haven’t really thought about the change, a new MSN/Zogby Poll shows.
Some may find themselves out of sync with everyone else March 11 – 16% had no idea daylight-saving time would be any different this year. Younger Americans are most likely to fall into this category – 21% of those age 18-29 say they are clueless about this year’s time change, compared to just 10% of those age 65 and older. Women (19%) are more likely than men (13%) to draw a blank about daylight-saving time.
The interactive survey of 10,258 adults nationwide was conducted Feb. 9-12, 2007, and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.0 percentage points.
