Clinton the favorite neighbor for older set

Well, here's a new way to measure the popularity of presidential candidates: Which candidate would you most like as a next-door neighbor?

ERA Real Estate asked that question as part of its fourth annual survey of people 50 and older across the country.

Among the 1,002 people questioned in March and August, Senator Hillary Clinton was the pick of 21 percent, former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (who has not officially declared) was chosen by 13 percent, and former North Carolina Senator John Edwards and Illinois Senator Barack Obama were selected by 12 percent each.

 YOUR VIEW: Which candidate would you want as a neighbor?

In the who-would-you-like-to-live-next-to test, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani received the support of 10 percent, Arizona Senator John McCain of 8 percent, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney of 6 percent.
