Colorado State Patrol asks drivers to respect lane filtering motorcyclists
DENVER (KDVR) — The Colorado State Patrol is urging drivers to respect motorcyclists engaged in lane filtering, with summer riding season officially underway. First and foremost, CSP said it is important for drivers to understand the difference between lane splitting, which is illegal, and lane filtering, which was legalized last year and took effect last August. What's the difference between lane filtering and lane splitting — and which one is legal? 'The first thing Coloradoans need to understand is that there is a seemingly small but important difference between lane filtering and lane splitting,' CSP Chief Col. Matthew C. Packard said in a statement. 'One maneuver is legal, and the other remains prohibited, so let's all start by getting on the same page.' Lane filtering is when a motorcyclist passes other cars that are at a complete stop. Lane splitting, meanwhile, is when a rider rides in-between cars that are in motion. According to the new law, the CSP says these five rules must be followed: To pass, traffic in the rider's lane and adjacent lanes going the same direction must be at a complete stop The lane must be wide enough to fit the vehicle and motorcycle while passing The motorcycle must go 15 mph or less The rider must pass safely and control the motorcycle The rider must pass on the left and not enter the oncoming traffic lane Sign up for the FOX31 Denver Guide weekly newsletter for events and activities 'It's up to the rider to assess each situation and determine if the conditions are safe and legal to filter – it's an option, not a requirement to filter,' Packard said. 'It is also the responsibility of every motorist to share the road. Drive with etiquette and with the law in mind. Respecting each other and driving without distractions will make our commutes faster and safer.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

What are Trump's approval ratings? See how president fares in polls as trade talks pick up
With the 100-day mark well behind him, President Donald Trump saw many polls stay low but a slight rebound in some polls over the past week. Not all of the polls could reflect it based on when they were taken, but Trump did see some progress on the trade front over the past week. He announced a new trade deal with the U.K., the first such pact after his broad imposition of tariffs on imports from around the globe. He also held an in-person meeting with Canada's new prime minister, potentially signaling an opportunity for trade talks. And Chinese and U.S. leaders were also supposed to meet, a potential first step toward another trade deal. Here's how Trump stood in polls in the U.S., Colorado and several other states. The number of polls in the field dropped after the 100-day mark, but they largely continued to show Trump's job approval below water: Rasmussen: 51% approve, 48% disapprove (1,500 likely voters surveyed May 4-8) Morning Consult: 46% approve, 52% disapprove (2,263 registered voters surveyed May 2-4) Economist/YouGov: 41% approve, 53% disapprove (about 1,500 adults surveyed for results released May 6) RMG Research: 49% approve, 49% disapprove (3,000 registered voters April 30 to May 8) I&I/TIPP: 42% approve, 47% disapprove (1,400 adults surveyed April 30 to May 2) Public polling out of Colorado is limited, but numbers from Civiqs continue to put the president significantly underwater in a state he lost in 2024. The firm's numbers, updated May 8, show 37% of Coloradoans with a favorable opinion of Trump, compared with 59% unfavorable. That is consistent but still is a sizable drop from the margin he lost the state by November election. Drew Linzer, the director of Civiqs, previously told the USA TODAY Network the firm uses advanced and proprietary modeling to develop results from online surveys of about 250 people daily, with the number of surveys in each state proportional in each sample. The polling slowdown this week showed up at the state level as well, with Civiqs the only publicly released state polling results the USA TODAY Network could find. Its surveys through May 8 showed the president losing ground in many states, even being underwater in some states he won in 2024: Arizona: 47% approve, 50% disapprove Georgia: 44% approve, 52% disapprove Michigan: 44% approve, 52% disapprove Nevada: 46% approve, 50% disapprove Pennsylvania: 44% approve, 51% disapprove Wisconsin: 44% approve, 53% disapprove Other states Trump is losing ground in from 2024 include Iowa and Florida, where the president's approval rating is net even, and Texas, Alaska, Ohio and South Carolina, where his approval rating is a net positive by 3 percentage points or less. It's important to note that each pollster has their own methodology, with responses gathered online, over the phone, through the mail or in person – with some using a combination of methods. They also draw from different cohorts – registered and likely voters are more likely to be surveyed near elections, while responses may come from to all Americans between elections. Those variations can make it difficult to compare one poll to another, even from the same pollster at different parts of the political cycle. The Pew Research Center, which has conducted public opinion polls for more than two decades, says good polls can 'give everyone in the population – regardless of their wealth, age, education, race, knowledge of politics or experience with it – an equal voice about the issues of the day.'

After 100 days in office, what is Donald Trump's approval rating in US, Colorado?
With a little over 100 days in office behind him, President Donald Trump is staring at some of the worst approval ratings recorded for a president at this point in a term. The numbers came as the ongoing controversies over tariffs and immigration continue unabated. Trump also removed his national security advisor, Michael Waltz, handing his duties over to Secretary of State Marco Rubio in the first major shakeup of his administration. Elon Musk also announced he was stepping back from his role in the Department of Government Efficiency. Take a look at Trump's numbers just over three months into his second term: A slew of polls show Trump significantly underwater three months into his second term, with a couple outliers: Rasmussen Reports: 50% approve, 49% disapprove (in a survey of 1,500 likely voters from April 27–May 1) Economist/YouGov: 41% approve, 53% disapprove (in a survey about 1,500 adults released April 29) Reuters/Ipsos: 42% approval, 53% disapproval (in a survey of 1,029 adults from April 25–27) Daily Mail: 45% approval, 55% disapproval (in a survey of 1,006 registered voters from April 23–28) Newsnation: 44% approval, 56% disapproval (in a survey of 1,448 registered voters from April 23-27) CBS News: 45% approval, 55% disapproval (in a survey of 2,365 adults from April 23–25) New York Times/Siena: 42% approval, 54% disapproval (in a survey of 913 registered voters from April 21–24) Public polling out of Colorado is limited, but numbers from Civiqs put the president significantly underwater in a state he lost in 2024. The firm's numbers, updated May 1, show 37% of Coloradoans with a favorable opinion of Trump, compared with 59% unfavorable. In much of the country, polling roughly mirrors the map from the 2024 election. In New Hampshire, Trump is underwater 53% to 47% in a University of New Hampshire poll (1,455 residents from April 17-21) In New York, a Civiqs' poll showed Trump with a 34% favorable to 62% unfavorable rating (as of April 30).

New House resolution asserts Trump's use of centuries-old law to crack down on Tren de Aragua is 'essential'
EXCLUSIVE: A House Resolution affirming the Trump administration's use of the Alien Enemies Act to crack down on those suspected to be Tren de Aragua gang members will be introduced on Monday. "Coloradoans already know the truth: Tren de Aragua (TdA) is a terrorist organization active in our communities right now," Rep. Jeff Crank, who's introducing the resolution, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive statement. "I fully support President Trump's executive order to designate them as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and to begin deporting these horrific terrorists. It is essential to our national security that known terrorists are quickly detained and deported out of our country by our law enforcement professionals," the Republican, who took office in January, continued. Specifically, the resolution says that the House of Representatives agrees with using the Alien Enemies Act to transport those who are part of a designated foreign terrorist organization. In addition, it "endorses the complete elimination of these organizations from the United States to protect the nation's territory, safety, and security." The resolution is co-sponsored by Reps. Lauren Boebert, Sheri Biggs, Tom Tiffany and Michael Guest. Tren de Aragua, as well as some cartel groups, were recently listed as a foreign terrorist organization by President Donald Trump, and some of the alleged members from MS-13 were brought to the Center for Terrorism Confinement in El Salvador. Since then, court cases have continued to make waves including U.S. District Court for D.C. Judge James Boasberg's legal tension with the administration over using the Alien Enemies Act, as Boasberg brought forth a temporary restraining order on using the law to deport the alleged members. Colorado has been on the frontline of gang activity by the Venezuelan organization, including issues at apartments in Aurora. "Now, we are learning that the command and control for TdA in the entire United States of America is right here in Colorado," Derek Maltz told Denver 7 last month, which was verified by DEA Rocky Mountain Division to Fox News at the time. Other legislation introduced by Colorado lawmakers has taken aim at policies in Colorado that opponents argue serve as a sanctuary for criminals. Rep. Gabe Evans introduced the "Unhandcuffing Police to Locate and Interdict Foreign Transgressors (UPLIFT) Act" in late February, which would give more power to local authorities to work with the federal government on immigration enforcement. "State laws have a national impact because if federal law enforcement uses information from a criminal justice database, and Colorado provided that information, the state and local cops in Colorado who provided that information can get in trouble," Evans told Fox News Digital at the time. "And so the feds don't want to get their state and local partners in trouble."
