A majority of Colorado voters support a ban on the sale of assault weapons but the concept generates deep polarization along party lines, according to a new poll released Monday by a trio of Colorado-based Democratic firms. The KOM Colorado Poll from Keating Research, OnSight Public Affairs and Mike Melanson found 57% of voters surveyed would support the ban with 40% opposing it. Those results split heavily along party lines, with 87% of Democrats backing an assault weapons ban and 11% in opposition compared to 74% opposition from Republicans with 24% support. Unaffiliated voters broke down on the same lines as the overall sample: 57% support a sales ban while 40% oppose the concept.
