Sarah, Allthough I don't have the exact numbers on me, the 1% estimate is the better one. In the United States it is slightly less than that but world wide the number is very close to 1% which is amazing given the other variabilities that exist (e.g., languages spoken). Of course, most results are based on fairly old studies which may have used variable methodologies. To get an exact number would involve a population study to catch all those who stutter who normally do not get to our attention.
