Bitcoin XT nodes are outnumbered ~ 6 to 1 by bitcoin core nodes and are ~13.5% of total.
Due to how easy it is for XT nodes to be faked, I'll stop updating the above numbers as frequently.

The number of XT nodes seems to have increased shortly after a scandal involving someone attempting to fake an email pretending to be satoshi1. r/bitcoin currently seems to be infuriated by the moderator tactics enforced in the subreddit. Snapshot of what the subreddit currently looks like here.

1: Theymos on Reddit added his view on the incident of the email. Maybe it's still unclear if it's genuine.

Legacy text from June 12:
That's just one or two weeks before Gavin submits the block size increase update. Meanwhile bitcoin core nodes have even increased after Mike's statement on June 8th from ~5900 to ~6040 today.
