(NEXSTAR) — In just a couple of weeks, daylight saving time will come to an end, pushing our clocks back an hour for roughly four and a half months.

The U.S. has had a back-and-forth relationship with seasonal time changes, and despite state and federal efforts, it's seemingly unlikely that we'll stop changing the clocks twice a year anytime soon. There is strong interest in it, however: A YouGov poll from March found that 65 percent of respondents are in favor of eliminating the changing of the clocks.

Among those who said they would like to stop the biannual practice, 34 percent say they would prefer to make daylight saving time — observed from mid-March to early November in all but two states — permanent, compared to 22 percent who would prefer permanent standard time.
