Jon Huntsman talks New Hampshire on SNL

Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman dropped by "Saturday Night Live"'s Weekend Update desk on Saturday, showing that he's not afraid to poke fun at his relatively low approval ratings - or his dogged focus on courting New Hampshire voters.

Huntsman, speaking with SNL's Seth Meyers, admitted to the host that he's still polling in the low single digits nationally.

"It is true, Seth," Huntsman told Meyers. "But only a few months ago, I was polling at margin of error. So to have any digit at all is a pretty big deal."

And when asked whether he thought his strong focus on New Hampshire might alienate some non-New Hampshire voters, Huntsman emphasized his love for "all of America - from Dallas, Texas to Manchester, New Hampshire. From the majestic Rocky Mountains to New Hampshire's scenic Lake Winnipesaukee. From the innovation of Silicon Valley to the affordable outlet malls in North Conway, New Hampshire."

When he learned that Meyers' father was a New Hampshire independent, he made one final pitch: "Say hi to your dad for me."
