The latest Battleground poll done by Ed Goeas and Celinda Lake has been released, showing Kerry leading Bush 44%-43 in the "unaided" question (no candidate names given by the pollster; the respondent must volunteer the name of the candidate they support).
Kerry leads Bush 49%-47% in the traditional "aided" question (candidiate names read by the pollster).
The poll was conducted August 15-17, so it may not reflect the effects of the swift boat controversy. The 1000 likely voter sample was evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats, each with 43%.
