It's not just the media that's calling President Barack Obama a lame duck. Americans think that as well.

A national poll by the Pew Research Center conducted after last week's midterm election shows just 6 percent think Obama will accomplish a great deal of what he would like to do in the remaining two years of his presidency, while 33 percent say he will accomplish some of it. Most—59 percent—say he'll be able to accomplish not much or nothing.
