We can't diagnose everyone who is in politics, or even a few, so we can't really make a good estimate. However, the percent of people in politics who are sociopaths is likely to be higher than in the general population because of some of the traits needed to be a good politician: being able to manipulate others, not being afraid to use underhanded tactics, and so on.
If its roughly 2 percent,, then consider this, sociopaths are the most vile, disgusting, and evil form of human life, most criminals in prison outside of the unfortunate ones who are there due to an act of desperation, are sociopaths. The problem is that they don't get caught until after they have caused severe damage, and their godlike persionalities can no longer hide all the lies and horrible things they have done. They are pure evil, once diagnosed, they should all be put away, period. They can never be trusted, and are living, walking, breathing, demons here on earth. Try not to feel sorry for them, because they don't care, in fact, they will use that weakness against you. So 2 percent of a population with polluted minds auch as thiers, are responsible for over 90 percent of the wrongdoings on earth. If they could just get over themselves for 1 minute, they could take the opportunity to "off" theirselves, and the world would be a better place.
Roughly 3% of men, and 1% of women. No one understands the gender discrepancy. It is thought that the percentage may be higher in women, but that societal pressures inhibit them from exhibiting it in obvious ways.More from another user:I wonder if the discrepancy arises from the numbers of men and women sent to jail. I don't think the estimates normally give original sources, only other secondary sources.(Also see Related questions.)
sociopaths are usually at their best behavior at work.

I believe so, yes. (my sister is a sociopath)
Yes a person can defend themselves against sociopathic character assassination by not allowing the behavior to be concealed. Exposure of the behavior of a sociopath forces them to acknowledge their incorrect behavior if they are confronted in the proper manner.
You call the police.
Is the sociopath mother on medicine to control her behavior? If not and the sociopath is a danger, then the innocent spouse needs to take legal action to protect himself and the child immediately (contact a lawyer, the county should have some programs to help those who cannot afford one). If the sociopath mother is on medicine, going to counseling and is compliant with her doctor there is not a whole lot you can do. The father will have a better chance in court to get full physical and legal custody.
From my limited understanding, not really. Sociopathic behavior can be identified at an early age. If the child does not "outgrow" these behaviors by 15-16yrs of age, then they can be labeled as having an antisocial personality problem or a sociopath.
The word to which you're probably referring is "sociopath."
