Well, literally, there are more Christians in the world. I don't know the actual numbers (I fear looking it up would never come with an exact answer).
The Holocaust in Europe in the beginning of the 20th century wiped out a large portion of the jewish population, and so has the other persecutions (such as the Spanish inquisition, roman invasions, etc). Either way, there were still more Christians.

Good question.
If you base your answer strictly by the stats, there are definitely more Christians in the world than anybody else.
However, when it comes to matters of the spirit, statistics are really not very reliable.
I suppose if you define "Christian" as a person who devotedly follows Christ, that would definitely narrow down the numbers of people who are Christians.
But then, to be fair, you'd have to define "Jew" as a person who devotedly follows the laws of Moses, and again, the numbers would narrow drastically.
A pretty problem...
However, I'm sure God knows who is who.

There are about billion Christians and 15 million Jews. You could only be cheap and count the 10 lost tribes as Jews (who could honestly be hundreds of millions, but the same could be a tiny number - we don't know what happened to them in over 2000 years) but it would still probably be less.

A quick web search discovered a site listing Christians as 33% of the world population and Jews as 0.22%.
