Jon Huntsman scored 4 percent, in the latest Fox News poll, while Michele Bachmann earned only 3 percent. The results are within the margin of error, but its a crucial result for Huntsman as he crosses the threshold to participate in the October 18 debate in Nevada sponsored by CNN.

The criteria for debate is that candidates must reach an average of 2 percent in three separate polls by news organizations published since Sept. 1.
