Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, despite recent scrutiny over allegations of Denver Police Department brutality, a top official’s lax discipline, and criticism of his business prowess, leads Republican Dan Maes and American Constitutional Party candidate Tom Tancredo 41-33-16 in Colorado’s gubernatorial race.

The same Reuters/Ipsos poll shows Ken Buck with a nine-point lead, 49-40, over appointed Sen. Michael Bennet.
