Cory Gardner holding an insignificant one point lead over first-term incumbent Mark Udall. In the race for Governor, incumbent John Hickenlooper holds a 7 point lead over former Congressman Bob Beauprez who is making his second run for this office.

Another 4% say they will vote for a different candidate and 3% remain undecided. In the race for Colorado Governor, 50% of likely voters support Democratic incumbent John Hickenlooper and 43% support GOP challenger Bob Beauprez. Another 3% say they will vote for a different candidate and 4% remain undecided. All major party candidates have strong support among their partisan bases. Specifically, 93% of Democrats support Hickenlooper for governor and 92% support Udall for senator, while 85% of Republicans support Beauprez and 86% support Gardner.

  • The Honorable Mark Udall United States Senate 730 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Udall: August
    FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE CH A IRMA N August 28, 20 14 The Honorable Mark Udall United States Senate 730 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Senator Udall: Thank you for your letter regarding the implementation of certain aspects of Phase II of the Connect America Fund (CAF II). In your letter, you express concerns that the overall mission ofthe CAF II program could be endangered if the Commission increases the current broadband speed benchmark for program recipients to 10 Mbps downstream /1 Mbps upstream without allowing flexibility in other elements of the program, and suggest several proposals to provide such flexibility. Your views are very important and will be included in the record of the proceeding and considered as part ofthe Commission' s review. I agree with you that high-speed broadband access is an essential component for economic growth in rural communities. The universal service program is one of the most important tools at our disposal to ensure that consumers and businesses in rural America have the same opportunities as their urban and suburban counterparts to be active participants in the United States of the 21st century. We are focused on updating the universal service high-cost program to ensure that we are delivering the best possible voice and broadband experiences to rural America within the confmes of our Connect America budget, while providing increased certainty and predictability for all carriers and a climate for increased broadband expansion. In April, the Commission voted to move forward with Phase II of the Connect America Fund for price-cap carriers.

  • Colorado's Close and Fluid Senate Race Offers Important Lessons On
    blogs.lse.ac.uk http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/2014/10/08/colorados-close-and-fluid-senate-race-offers-important-lessons-on-political-strategy-for- both-republicans-and-democrats/ Colorado’s close and fluid Senate race offers important lessons on political strategy for both Republicans and Democrats. In less than a month’s time, voters in Colorado will go to the polls to decide whether or not they wish to give their incumbent Senator, Democrat Mark Udall, another term, or instead, opt for his Republican challenger, Cory Gardner. Courtenay Daum takes a close look at what is proving to be a very close election race and one that might well decide which party controls the Senate. She writes that low ratings for President Obama and the fact that 2014 is an off year election may work against Udall, but that Gardner is also trailing in fundraising. She argues that the race may well come down to which candidate is best able to get the vote out, especially among core supporters and independents. Colorado’s Senate race between Democratic incumbent Mark Udall and Republican challenger Cory Gardner is one of the closest in the nation. Recent polls indicate that Gardner may have a slight advantage but the race remains too competitive to make any definitive predictions.
