This "what if" question deserves to be answered as much as Michael Moore's "if you had kids, would you send them to die in Iraq?".
In other words, it can't be answered. 9/11 has defined Bush's presidency, and taking that away can leave one without much opinion of his performance. In the eight months he led the country before 9/11, he made several decisions and pushed some legislation through that I strongly agree with, and I would vote for him again.
