Hunter, overwhelmingly. Beast hunters with spirits and Halazzi, and spell hunters, with or without Zul'Jin. A bit of Zoo/Even lock and Odd Rogues/Pallies. Encountered 1 Kingsbane rogue with all of the weapon tutors, got wrecked by him too.
I'm at Rank 8, and it's been mostly Secret/Spell Hunters, Kingsbane Rogues, Taunt Druids and Odd Mages, with a smattering of Priests and Warlocks. I faced some Discardlocks a few days after the expansion launch, but they've all but disappeared now.
Warrior remains a dead class, sadly. Dragon decks don't seem to be catching on. I've been rocking an Odd Dragon Quest Warrior deck though, and it's doing fine so far.

Which rank are you in? Why would anyone not include Zul'jin in spell hunter, or secret hunter for the matter?!

Warrior just doesn't have good matchups in the current, mind you early, meta. This might change though, it's still hard to predict.
The poll is kind of useless considering the expansion is only a week old and the meta hasnt settled yet.
Will it reflect the state of standard mode a month from now? Most likely no. But useless, I disagree. If you wanna climb now, this info might be useful.
By far hunter and I mean by a huge margin which is both a problem and not so much. What do I mean by that? Well it of course is frustating cause you only see the same class over and over and play against the same cards which not only is boring but also locks out a lot of classes and archetypes just cause they can't compete against some of the strong plays hunters have but at the same time you can just counter the meta and play something that deals with hunter as it's, in theory, the strongest class (Or at least the most represented one).
But then comes the dilemma, what type of hunter is your opponent playing? There are 2 main variants which is like secrets in where in plays a lot of minions either via spells or pure midrange type hunter and then there is Deathrattle big beast decks (which for some reason are way less represented even tho they're most than likely better). The problem comes when you realize that both decks are good against different things and the only deck that can be decent against both is Odd Paladin.
I just chose to fight the most common variants and for that reason I'm running Taunt druid atm it just destroys secret and spell hunters and it does fairly ok against the rest of the meta while not being terrible vs Deathrattle hunter (around 43% winrate for druid).

How is it useless? it probably won't be a good picture of the meta in like a month (more than likely won't) but this kind of poll is extremely useful for someone trying to climb rn if you have info about what people is playing you can counter the ladder and then have a smoother climb.

At the rate a week old meta changes 24 hours later some other class will likely take over any class in the lead. It also depends on rank, and when and where you are playing. Then the sample size compared to the number of hearthstone players is so low as to not be useful. All in all its a waste of time.

The same argument could be made about any HS stay sites available online. They all have a limited not properly randomized sample size. In truth, I believe only Blizzard has proper insights into how each of the decks is actually doing at any given time. And there is good reason for not disclosing those to the public.

I'm getting control mage's all day long with a few Hunter and warlock sprinkled in at rank 18.
Hunter, overwhelmingly. Beast hunters with spirits and Halazzi, and spell hunters, with or without Zul'Jin. A bit of Zoo/Even lock and Odd Rogues/Pallies. Encountered 1 Kingsbane rogue with all of the weapon tutors, got wrecked by him too.
Hunter. Zul'jin is one big daddy
I'm at rank 13 and see Hunter (mostly Zul'jin based decks) and Warlock (zoo, even, cube, you name it)

Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.

By far priest in rank 4 to 2 in wild.
And my gut feeling said "hunter" in standard but the numbers say I faced warlock the most (rank 5 and 4).
Lots of hunter which is fine by me! My Shaman Shudderwock has done well at rank ~9, 6-1 against hunter :) 14 wins vs 7 losses total today.
