Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe the doctrine of the trinity of God is Biblical. We believe that Jehovah God is the Supreme Being, that Jesus Christ is His only begotten son who had a heavenly existance before his human one, and that the Holy Spirit is the active force that Jehovah uses.

Do all Christians believe in the Trinity?
The correct answer has to be yes. Here's why: When we speak of the Trinity we are speaking of what and who God is. When someone claims to believe in the Trinity they are acknowledging that there is one God substance existing in three eternally distinct, co-equal persons - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. To reject the Trinity is to reject all things Christian especially Christ.
Jesus is the second person of the Trinity. This is the one whom the Father sent. To reject the Son of God is to reject the Father. To accept the Father's testimony is to embrace his Son. His Son lived his life on earth submitting to the Holy Spirit. This is why he was called the Christ, because he was anointed with the Holy Spirit. So no matter how you slice it, you can't get around the Father, Son, and Spirit being so related to the Christian message.
In order to be a Christian what must one do? They must accept the Father's testimony? What is the Father's testimony? "This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased." The testimony of God the Father is of His Son - the Lord Jesus Christ. He tells us believe in His Son. So we accept the Father's testimony, we embrace the Son, and what else? We submit to the Holy Spirit. For embracing the Son is impossible apart from submitting to the Holy Spirit. For as Scripture says, "we must be born again." We must be born of the Spirit in order to embrace the Son and accept the Father's Testimony.
Are there groups out there who deny the Trinity but profess to be Christian? Yes, there are, and these groups are many. The point remains though, The Trinity is an essential truth of the Christian faith and to forsake it is to forsake truth altogether.
Must we believe in the Trinity to be saved? To be a Christian?
Yes. For God the Father has not provided a way to know him apart from the other two persons of the Trinity. We come into a relationship with the Father through his Son Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit. There simply is no other way.

First....some clarifying Definitions:
A Christian: One who is Baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Answer: Since the Church, of which Baptism is the regular Sacrament of initiation, claims that belief in the Incarnation and the Holy Trinity are necessary:
Thereby, all true Christians believe in the Holy Trinity.

True Christians don't believe in the trinity because Christianity's founder, Jesus Chrisrt, never taught it. According to the trinity, God exists as three co-equal, co-eternal persons. Such a belief directly contradicts Jesus' words that his Father is the ONLY true God. (John 17:3)

As a Christian myself, I personally do. I would assume other Christians would also. The Trinity is after all The Father (God) The Son (Jesus) The Holy Ghost (God's Spirit). They are all One, hense the reason why Jesus is the only living God, because He is God born in human form and lived as a human, therefore He has experianced what us humans experiance. He is also the only God that has died and risen again. All the other Gods are dead.

If they are Christians they do.Some deceivers,and that is what the Bible calls them by the way,as well as Antichrist,think Jesus is God.Read 2 John 1:7-11 and you will find that they have BOTH the Father and the Son.
