Is Bush already a lame duck?

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President George W. Bush is set to go before Congress Tuesday night and deliver his sixth State of the Union address against a backdrop of mounting U.S. casualties in Iraq and approval ratings in the low 30s.

The war is not likely to dominate the prime-time address, but the list of domestic issues he plans to discuss promises to be lengthy.

With an empowered Democratic majority and a wary Republican Party looking toward the 2008 elections, many are wondering whether the president has the support or the political capital left to push his agenda through Congress or whether he has become a lame duck.

1. Yes, his party lost congress in '06 and he's at 28% in one poll

and members of his own party are breaking with him on Iraq. He's pretty lame, but then he always has been.
