How the sunrise and sunset times would be affected by abolishing daylight saving time in the USA. Would you prefer to keep it or drop it?

I think daylight savings time comes from a human need to have our day match the natural cycles of the sun (because we don't want to fight our cicardian rhythm) and to have consistent schedules and routines through the year.
I hate it though, I agree it's pretty arbitrary and we can do better.
