A new poll reveals which candidates U.S. adults view as the most desired neighbors. Whether it's in the White House or the house next door, Democratic candidates are in a dead heat and are preferred neighbors over Republicans, according to a survey of 2,228 U.S. adults conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of real estate website Zillow.com.

Among all adults, Sen. Barack Obama barely edges out Sen. Hillary Clinton as the presidential candidate they would most like to be their neighbor in 2008 with 13 percent and 12 percent of the votes, respectively. Rounding out the top five are Republican candidates Fred Thompson (7%), Rudy Giuliani (6%) and Mike Huckabee (5%).

Among adults who consider themselves Democrats, Clinton and Obama remain neck-and-neck, with Clinton capturing a slight lead at 25 percent of Democratic votes, followed closely by Obama with 23 percent and Sen. John Edwards a distant third (8%). Among adults who consider themselves Republicans, it is a three-man race with Thompson (14%), Huckabee (13%) and Giuliani (12%) all closely ranked as the most desired neighbors for 2008.

Obama is the favorite neighbor among Independents/Others (10%), followed by Thompson (8%) and Giuliani and Clinton (both 6%).

Among men, Obama (11%) and Thompson (10%) are the top choices for neighbors in 2008, followed by Clinton (9%), Sen. John McCain (7%) and Huckabee (6%).

For men aged 35-44, Clinton is the top choice (12%), followed closely by Giuliani (11%) and a tie between Thompson and Obama (9%).

Men 55 and older do not seem to be as open to having a female presidential candidate neighbor as the younger generation -- while half as many (6%) would like to have Clinton as their neighbor, peer Fred Thompson is the front runner with 11 percent of the vote in this gender-age bracket, followed by McCain (9%) and Obama (8%).

In the female camp, Clinton is the favorite (15%), slightly ahead of Obama (14%) followed by Giuliani (7%).

Among 45-54 year-old women, twice as many would like to have Clinton (22%) as a neighbor than Obama (11%), followed by Giuliani (7%).
