Is my starter bad?

ok its been turning over a little slow lately, first time I found a loose battery cable second time I replaced both batteries and still no better. I also used the jumpstart section on my charger and also hooked up to my car to jumpstart it same problems. It starts sometimes but this is what it does. It turns over pretty fast then slows down and eventually stops. Probably cranks good for 1 second, slower the second second and after three seconds it stops. This is normally enough time to start but not always????? I am leaving out of town this weekend and don't want to be stranded help!
