Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney seems headed to a win Tuesday night, but the race for second place in the Granite State is far from settled. A new Public Policy Polling (D) survey of the state shows former Ambassador and Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman moving to third in the state with 16 percent, just behind Rep. Ron Paul with 18. Romney leads everyone with 35. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich gets 12 percent and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum gets 11.
“…Huntsman has the momentum,” PPP wrote. “His support is up from 12% to 16%, while Paul’s has declined from 21% to 18% over the last week and a half. Huntsman’s favorability (55/30) is far better than Paul’s (43/51) and 13% of voters list Huntsman as their 2nd choice compared to only 5% for Paul.”
