Exact numbers are impossible to come by, due to changes in death rates and graduations, but approximately 3% of Americans over the age of 25 hold a Doctoral or Ph.D. degree.

Going by very rough estimates of the current (April, 2009) US population, this data would suggest over 6,400,000 Americans hold a Ph.D.
