What Are The Most Common Blood Types

There are eight different types of blood, and some are far rarer than others. The most common blood type is O-positive, with 36% of the population having it. The next most common is A-positive at 28%.

Third most common? The one Coffee Memorial is in desperate need of O-negative. Now, the percentage of the population with this blood type does drop a bit, as 14% of the population is O-Neg. However, that's still relatively high compared to the blood types underneath it.
