I think most people (Christians included) don't take this story in a literal sense, but more of a metaphor. Also, the very notion that someone could survive in a whale is rather silly anyway.
It's like Noahs ark, of course a worldwide flood didn't happen. It's just a story that's supposed to offer guidance, and I think only the hardcore believers would say differently.
So in conclusion: no
