Apparently the only exceptions now are 1) Hawaii and 2) the Navaho
nation.
I believe Indiana's legislature voted to stop their strange situation
(they are so close to Central Time that they didn't go to DST, so,
basically the result was that they stayed on the same Eastern Time
clock, which means as a result flipped back and forth between having
the same time as Central Time and the same as Eastern Time). That's
the only weird one I know about.
Andrew has it not quite right. The parts of the United States that
do not observe DST are Hawaii and all of Arizona EXCEPT the Navajo
Nation (which does observe DST). The bulk of Arizona behaves as
David describes, declining to change their clocks so that match
California for part of the year and match New Mexico for the rest of
the year.
Most (but not all) of Indiana used to behave like that as well, but,
as David notes, last year the state legislature voted to abandon that
plan and go back to observing DST. The state is now once again split
between Central and Eastern time zones, with each part observing DST.
