Yes, they are a fish.
yes

Improved answer: Great White Sharks' body temperatures vary, but the temperature is internally regulated. This makes them very different from typical "cold-blooded" animals like reptiles, amphibians, and most fish that rely solely on their environment and diet to regualte their body temperatures. For example, the temperature around a great white's brian is typically 25 degrees warmer than the surrounding temperatures. The sharks' large size, physical activity, and metabolism allow it to regulate such temperatures.
Yes the great white shark is cold blooded. Since it is considered to be a rather large fish and lives in water which tends to vary in temperature it's considered to be cold blooded. Since fish are exothermic, meaning noting or pertaining to a chemical change that is accompanied by a liberation of heat, many species are capable of surviving in large temperature variations (so long as they are not too rapid) a change that quick and drastic would quickly kill most mammals. Therefore although mammals are warm blooded, they are far less tolerant of changes in temperature that deviate too far from whatever their species ideal is.
