Polls: 48% of Bulgarians prefer to permanently stay on winter time

48% of the Bulgarians prefer to stay on winter time and 32% prefer to stay on the summer time after the end of the daylight saving time, according to results of a survey by Exacta Research Group, conducted between September 28 and October 5 among 1,000 adult Bulgarians in 92 places in the country.

One fifth of respondents have no opinion. Young Bulgarians aged under 30 are the most frequently without opinion.

The results show that there is a certain prevalence of the position in support for staying on winter time.

Support for permanently staying on winter time was largest among women, people older than 59 and people from the countryside.

Support for permanently staying on summer time was largest among people aged between 30 and 40, those with higher education and residents of Sofia.

The profiles of those supporting these two positions are indicative that there are pragmatic and rational arguments among certain groups of people. This implies a broad and open discussion on the issue in order to reach an optimal choice. This will also give people without a say on the subject a chance to make their choice.

The findings of Exacta Research poll were released on 11^th of October which is the final day for voting in an online survey launched by the Bulgarian government on the matter.
