Although no direct national statistics are kept on the number of citizens who consider themselves Democrats or Republican because the national political parties are actually made up of the political parties in the 50 states (and the 11 or so territories) there are surveys that estimate political affiliation.
Most folks don't consider this statistic relevant as lots of Republicans could live in one state and lots of Democrats could live in another state and the states are the source of the electoral college where the ONLY national use of political parties are actually relevant. So, it is not something people care about except for bragging rights.
In general, about one-third of the country is Democratic, one-third Republican and one-third independent. These numbers swim around three or four points to a side depending on which party is looking like a real idiot at the moment.
