You don't need the double quotes. The shell parser recognises the assignment statement _before_ breaking things on whitespace.

That's not entirely true. It will compress whitespace in the output if you don't use quotes.
$(date +'%a %b %d %T %Y')
$(date +'%a  %b  %d  %T  %Y')
will end up exactly the same without the double quotes around it.
