Daylight saving time ends Sunday. Here's what to know

Americans will set clocks back an hour at 2 a.m. Sunday, bringing brighter mornings and earlier nightfall, amid debate over daylight saving time. An AP-NORC poll shows only 12% support the current system; 56% prefer permanent daylight saving time, while 42% want permanent standard time. Nineteen states have passed measures to keep daylight saving time year-round, but Congress must act. The Sunshine Protection Act, led by Sen. Rick Scott with bipartisan backing and urged by President Trump, stalled after Sen. Tom Cotton objected, citing late winter sunrises and the need for morning sunshine for safety and well-being.
