NONE!!
Being "truly Christ like" is a goal that is not attainable except through divine deliverance.
If any one was "truly Christ like" they would be divine as Christ was.
If the question is meant to comment on the "judgments" by the "Holier-than-thou" Christians then you already know that no one is perfect. Some people just can't help but try to remove the sty in your eye while ignoring the LOG in their own. Its easier to examine others faults than to deal with your own inadequacies.
Realizing your humanness is humbling.

Zero. That's the whole point. Christians look foward to the final culmination of all things, when they will be comformed to the image and likeness of Christ. In the mean time, there are Christians who sincerely try to be Christ-like and usually succeed, Christians who want to be Christ-like but usually fail, Christians who want to appear Christ-like but have no desire to actually be such, Christians who inherited that label but have neither the desire nor the capacity to live up to it, and non-Christians who allow others to apply the 'Christian' label to them, even though they do not profess Christianity personally.
No religion claims that its members live up to its expectations. In fact, most specifically deny this claim, and instead simply offer a particular outlook on moral philosophy.

If your talking totally Christ like, then none. If you are talking Christ like in a majority of the area all the time, then only a few. If your talking about Christ like in a few areas then, considerably more.
so 0%, .5-5%, 10-15%
but this is skewed since i have only met a limited number and cant make anything like an accurate estimate.

Are you sure you want to be Christ-like?
Our Leader's behavior shocked the religious establishment. Christ partied with crooks, drunks and sluts. A prostitute kissed his feet. He did things on the Sabbath he wasn't supposed to. He insulted dignitaries, calling them vipers, blind fools, whitewashed tombs and other endearing names. Those closest to him usually had no idea what he was talking about - he's warning them about the Pharisees and they think he's complaining about leaving the bread behind - but to those outside his inner circle, Christ wasn't nearly so intelligible. He was acknowledged by demons and rejected by theologians. He spoke to a fever, a tree, even a storm. Before long, Jesus' sanity was called into question and at one stage his family came to take charge of him. He was forever messing up funerals, wrecking beggars' only source of income - their infirmities - and outraging religious leaders. He made goo with spit and smeared it on a beggar's eyes. He stuck his fingers in a man's ears, spat, and grabbed the man's tongue. How many churches would tolerate such ludicrous behavior? He took a short-cut across the lake - without a boat. He sent two thousand swine hurtling to their death. He physically assaulted temple workers. No one - whether friends, family, admirers; devout, legalistic or lax - could agree with him for long.

None of us (meaning Christians) are Christ like. We endeavour to be more like Christ but usually fail. The difference is we are aware of the sin in our life.

aren't you skirting a little close to the 'judge thee not lest...' thing here?
Anyway, Christ was a tough act to follow, what with the water walking, faith healing and crucifixion. I bet a lot of christians wouldn't really go for that, especially the last bit.

Negative.
Jesus was not brainwashed or religious. My point, last thing he would have wanted is for worshipers to be religious instead of spiritual. If all these variations of Christianity are out there, how do you know who is right, wrong, or interpreting the truth?

To be Christ-like is an ideal we are to be trying to become.... it isnt something easily attainable because we are all human and therefore fall short

I am wavering around the 0% level. While I have not taken a poll, from my experience that appears to be accurate.
