Former Massacusetts Gov. Mitt Romney has added a few points to his lead in a new poll of New Hampshire Republican primary voters, who picked him 44 percent of the time in the survey conducted by the University of New Hampshire Survey Center and sponsored by WMUR. A distant second is Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) at 20 percent, followed by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum both at 8 percent. Former Ambassador and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman gets 7 percent.

Still, UNH pollster Andy Smith did say there many be a bit more drama in New Hampshire than the numbers suggest. From WMUR:

Although the primary is just days away, there is still a lot of room for movement. In the poll, 37 percent said they have definitely decided who they will support, 26 percent are leaning toward a candidate, and 37 percent are still trying to decide. “A lot of people haven’t made up their mind,” Smith said. “Only about 40 percent say they’ve definitely made up their mind, so there’s room for movement, and right now, Santorum is the only guy that seems to have any sort of an uptick.”
