There are two kinds of dividends; qualified and unqualified.

Those that are truly dividends, rather than interest income in disguise, are QUALIFIED. They get the 15% treatment. The unqualified are taxed at ordinary income rates.

I can't tell you what percentage of all divvies fall into which category but suffice it to say there are MANY billions that are qualified.
