Interesting online poll here -- but I'm afraid it's a trick question. I think there's no simple answer to "How long will George W. Bush's summer vacation be in 2006?" I think it'll be a really long vacation, just like his others, but it won't be called a vacation -- the White House will inform us that it's a "working relocation" or a "change of White House venue," or use some other Orwellian weasel-phrase, and if Bush is back up over 45% in the polls, the press will meekly go along, even though it's in Crawford and involves (this time strictly off-camera) brush-clearing and long bike rides and so on, and and even if the duration is five or six weeks.
