No, but there is a question concerning moral realism. Since moral relativism is a type of moral anti-realism which is entertained by 27.7% of respondents, it follows that less than 27.7% philosophers are relativists.

Many formulations of relativism are actually pretty unpopular when compared anti-realism.
