Shubik,
you can see the screen reader survey @
http://webaim.org/projects/screenreadersurvey3/

When it comes to how many screen readers should we support there is no
statistics available. Follow the ARIA best practices along with the
section 508 standards that you follow that will enhance accessibility
for most of the screen readers
