It's the wrong question. Ask if people support simply moving the clocks forward an hour and leaving it there, and I bet you will get overwhelming support. No more of this back and forth, just give everyone more daylight in the usable hours.

This would be a terrible idea.

In summary, the scientific literature strongly argues against the switching between DST and Standard Time and even more so against adopting DST permanently.

I think if we made all the teenagers get up an hour earlier the whole year round, they'd revolt.
