I would guess that the question is from someone inexperienced in musical concepts of rhythm, pulse, time signatures, harmony, etc., so my answer will be basic. Blues is typically in 4/4 time, but it doesn't have to be. The term really refers to a 12- or 16-bar structure of specific chord progressions with added "blue notes" such as lowered 7ths added to the I & IV's, flatted 9ths and 5ths (used more by jazz-blues players, etc.), as well as the content of the lyrics and style of the performer. However, even though blues is typically in duple time (multiples of 2 beats per measure), triplets are sometimes used to create a 12/8 feel which is the same as 4 triplets in 4/4. There are probably fewer blues tunes in 3/4 (waltz) time than any other common signature. (Paul Desmond wrote a famous blues tune in 5/4, so I suppose anything's possible.)
