Living in Italy I get the feeling that people are overwhelmingly in favor of DST; I know I am. I think the big screw up from EU was that after the poll (to which pretty much only Germans answered) they just said they would remove DST altogether instead of recognizing that different geographical regions have different needs. They just wanted a no-cost change to say "see? we listen to people"; but pretty much everyone in southern Europe heard "see? Germans decide for everyone!", and nationalists party marched on it. From the article it looks like they backtracked on it and they'll allow countries to choose to keep changing time twice a year; I sure hope so.
