Public Policy Polling, a Democratic leaning firm, shows Gov. Pawlenty trailing the pack in a poll of 2012 GOP hopefuls in New Hampshire.

Here are the results from the poll:

Mitt Romney - 31%
Newt Gingrich - 14%
Ron Paul - 13%
Mike Huckabee - 12%
Sarah Palin- 9%
Tim Pawlenty - 3%
Mitch Daniels - 1%

PPP also suggested that it won't include Pawlenty in every 2012 poll because his name identification isn't high enough:

We get a lot of e-mail asking us to include Tim Pawlenty in all of our 2012 Presidential polling but his numbers here are a reminder of why we aren't- yet. Pawlenty was at 3% in our New Hampshire polling in April and he's still there. He's getting a lot of attention in insider circles as he positions himself for a 2012 bid but it's not translating to the general public enough yet for him to make a real dent in the polls. Pawlenty still has plenty of time to become a serious player for the Republican nomination but his name recognition isn't to the point yet where we'd get much out of including him every month on our national 2012 poll testing match ups against Obama.
