How many Catholic bishops are there in the US??

That number includes residential, auxiliary, eparchial and metropolitan bishops. Of that number, 195 are residential. List of Bishops in the US.

What percentage have not (yet!) signed on to the protest??

The percentage that don't want to tread on toes, get involved or support Fr. Jenkins. Not all bishops will agree on this issue. Take a look at NY. Only 1 of the 16 bishops has made a statement (+ the new Archbishop Dolan). The silence from the other bishops (including mine), is deafening.

Thanks for the replies and links. It gives perspective to the number of bishops who have placed church teaching and moral values above politics. The rest of them should be ashamed not to at least issue a supporting statement on such a clear-cut issue.
