Male circumcision is a key mitzvah in Judaism. Although a small percentage of Jews are choosing to not circumcise their male babies, an uncircumcised male is considered to be separate from the Jewish Nation and is prohibited in participating in certain mitzvot later in life.

Is a boy born to a Jewish mother Jewish if he is not circumcised?

Yes. His acquisition of Jewishness occurs at the moment of birth, when he would not yet have been circumcised anyway. Continuing to be uncircumcised is a halakhic (Jewish legal) problem within Judaism, but a person does not forgo their Jewish nature or identity by failing to live up to the halakhah. There are, however, one or two commandments which an uncircumcised Jew may not take part in (such as offering the Passover sacrifice) on account of his failure to get circumcised (assuming it was by choice).
