Jon Huntsman is climbing in a final, closely watched New Hampshire poll that shows a battle for who will finish behind Mitt Romney in Tuesday's GOP presidential primary.

The survey by WMUR-University of New Hampshire shows Romney comfortably at the top with 41% support from likely primary voters, with Ron Paul in second at 17%.

The key finding is the rise by Huntsman, a former Utah governor who has staked his campaign on New Hampshire, who is now tied for third with Rick Santorum. Both have 11% support.

"This race is wide open, maybe not at the top, but certainly for the second slot," Andy Smith of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center told WMUR.

Newt Gingrich has 8% support in the WMUR-UNH poll. Rick Perry, Buddy Roemer and Michele Bachmann are at 1%. Bachmann suspended her campaign after her disappointing finish at the Iowa caucuses.
