Can Bush salvage the remaining years of his presidency or is he offically a lame duck with low poll numbers?

Interesting you should ask this today. I live up in Canada and this was the topic of discussion on one of our local radio talk shows. The consensus is that the polls are showing he is a lame duck.

First thing is first.  A poll does not determine whom the president will be.  Never has and never will.  IF it did, we would still have Clinton in office.  Or Gore, or even Kerry.\n\nPoint is that ANY poll can be fixed to get the result you want based on the questions you ask and the KNOWN makeup of the polling places.\n\nIf I am going to want a poll to show a more democrat's stance, then I would write a poll biased to democrats and poll an area that is loaded with them, such as Chicago, ILL, or San Fransisco, CA.\n\nIf I want something to show more of a republican stance, I would write a poll biased on conservitives and poll known area's that are conservitive, such as Dallas TX, or Tampa Bay, FL.\n\nWhen they where polling for the president in 2001 and in 2004, Bush was to lost by 15% or more, yet he won by 5% in 2001 and 15% in 2005.\n\nI tend to ignore polls because of this and do not tend to like it when they use a poll as news.  It is not news, nor is it a proper way to show people's thought patterns.\n\nA great president will not lead by poll's, but lead by what he feels is right.\nA self centered president (and mostly failed presidents) Lead only by polls and do not do what is right for the people even tho most people do not even know what they want.

Depends on how you look at it.\nI think he will be as influential within the White House as he has been for 6 years.\nHowever, given the fact that the administration is facing a Democratic controlled House and Senate for the final 2 years, I think it's safe to say that the White House as a whole will be less influential in what happens in and to the U.S.

I like Bush alot, but I have to admit he is falling on his face quite a bit in the last few months....personally, no I do not feel sorry for him. He could fix the problems, instead of making them worse.

While I had my problems with Clinton, trade issues, especially, he was intelligent, capable, eloquent and cared about people. Bush has none of those qualities.\n\nClinton also reversed 12 years of deficit spending and created a 7 trillion dollar surplus. Bush wasted it in the space of about 2 years.

In my opinion he is!\nHe was a so-so president in his first term, but now he is worse, he knows there is no being elected again for him, so he has given up trying to do good for America. And I fear the next president we get, will not do any better.

Bush will go done in history as the sorriest President ever. The way he callously mislead countless world leaders with his adolescent college attitude and "better than thou -privileged boy" world view — will have the world recovering from this wound forever.

It is easy, in America his term will come to an end and he will be forgotten, he will take his graft money and fade into the woodwork. The damage that he has done to America and its people will never be forgotten. I do not look for another repuglican president for a long, long time.

Unfortunately, George W. Bush (2001-?)

Obviously he's trying to make nice. He's lead the country on a death-train of neo-conservative objectives for the past few years. Now that he doesn't hold all the cards any longer, what else is he going to do, but try and gain some leverage with the possible face of his impending doom?

President Bush might be last because of his misadventrures in Iraq.

Highly unlikely.  Many moderate Republicans feel that could end up being a political liability after the election controversy and her links to GWB.  Notice how many Republicans have been starting to distance themselves from the president?  This is in preparation for the upcoming election cycle.  They may support many of Bush's policies (or not), but they can not risk being too closely linked with an office with such low approval ratings.  \n\nHarris' name is so linked with Bush's at this point, however, that she cannot really gain any distance, making her an easy target.\n\nHope this helps!

It depends on if we can get Bush out of office in the next month, which is unlikely, which means yes to answer your question.

Depends on who is counting the last couple of presidentual elections have not been very honest.

Probably. Americans in general though have a very short attention span, especially for political issues so it won't last long. I don't think his aproval rating will get that much higher anyway.

Bush's support is currently in the mid 30s. It has consistently gone down his whole time in office though, so it will probably drop further.

He can't, Bush is in his last of two terms now. George Bush will be out of office in 08, unless America impeaches him from office. I really wouldn't mind seeing that happen.
