- 37% of Bond fans think the character has always been a Sexist
- Bookmakers would make it an Evens bet to continue based on Poll Results
- Men and Women Agree
Whilst Daniel Craig has recently said that there should never be a female James Bond he has also claimed that previous incarnations of James Bond have been sexist.
In a poll undertaken by YouGov polls, it would seem the general public would tend to agree with 37% saying Bond has always been a Sexist, whilst only 11% disagree and state Bond has never been a Sexist.
Something to consider as Craig Steps down and the decision on the next Actor, or Actress indeed, to play Jams Bond in the next Movie.
If The Poll results also reflected how the Next James Bond Actor might be perceived it remains an EVENS chance with betting sites that Bond has always been and always be a Sexist
Will Bond Continue to be Perceived as Sexist
| Perception | Poll Results | Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Yes and always has been | 37% | Evens |
| No, because Bond has changed | 22% | 2/1 |
| No, and never has been | 11% | 5/1 |
Everyone Agrees
In what might be considered a slightly surprising aspect of the poll results, both men and women polled, agreed in equal numbers that Bond has always been sexist.
| Perception | All | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|---|
| Has never been sexist | 11% | 14% | 9% |
| Use to be but not now | 22% | 25% | 20% |
| Always been sexist | 37% | 38% | 37% |
| Wasnt before but is now | 2% | 2% | 2% |

What is interesting and the studios might be please about is that 20% of those polled thought that Bond used to be sexist but has removed that trait come 2021
