Not very many. Although they once roamed all of North and Central America, they have been exterminated from most of the U.S. There is a small population in northern Minnesota, a growing population in the northern Rocky Mountains, and they have been reintroduced to New Mexico.

Us humans and wolves
The gray wolf (Canis lupus)
800 or so.
Wolves have been endangered for many centuries. Because wolves are at the top of the Food Chain they compete with humans for the same prey (deer, elk, rabbits, etc.) Humans have also developed many myths about wolves over the centuries, most of which are false. Consequently, in the US, Gray wolf populations were drastically reduced after the first part of the twentieth century. In 1973, the US Congress passed the Endangered Species Act and the Red and Gray wolves were immediately listed as endangered species. Ther have been some attempts to re-introduce Gray wolves to national parks in the US, but they remain endangered to this day. Although some subspecies are endangered, the gray wolf as a species is not an endangered species.
Wolves have no predators. Bears, for instance, perceive wolves as competition, not prey.
Gray wolves are endangered because of deforestation and way too much overhunting.
Throughout history, the gray wolf has been classified as vermin, because it competed with our ancestors for prey, and was powerful enough to be a threat to us. The truth is, wolves normally avoid humans, and only very rarely look upon us as prey. They are a major player in the natural order of things, and deserve our protection.
Bears
