I think their thinking is that OVERALL, more americans are up later in the evening than are up earlier in the morning. (I dont know how they would quantify that though)
I also read one time that in WWII the US (and England) was on War Savings Time, which was TWO hours ahead of Standard Time. That wouldda meant here in San Antonio, in the summer, the sun wouldnt have set until about 10 PM, which is really late here.
The other thing people are forgetting is that the summer days are much longer than the winter days. So even if DST is extended through the end of November, the sun would set at 6:30 instead of 5:30. Still early enough to get the kiddos to bed at a respectable hour.
