Sunni: approximately 80%
Shiite's: approximately 20%
However, regardless of the percentage, the only group on the straight path of Islam and surly will be saved is the group that Allah (God) describes in the Quran 9:10 and 59:8-10. And the saved Group will be definitely from the Sunni side although there are Sunni sub-groups who are deviated and do not represent the true Islam that was adopted by the prophet (peace be upon him) and his great companions and the early Muslims in the 1ts, 2nd and 3rd first unadulterated centuries of Islam.
