Terran definetely. Why ? Micro and Macro it's very hard it takes lot of practice to master it or do something nice/well. Why now is zerg 46%? because there is alot much more zergs then terrans.Why now>? because more people play zerg because it's easier than terran and it is hard to fight with them.

First serious game I tried with Zerg, got zealot rushed and lost. Second game, beat a newb but constantly had 1k minerals. In the first serious games I tried toss, I got up to 200/200 very quickly, secured many expansions(and still lost the games), and didn't have many excess minerals until 3-5 expansions and 200/200. So I would say zerg is hardest and protoss is easiest.
During practice session, I discovered very good build against zerg. -Bisu[Shield]

for zerg users, id suggest practice with terran, so ur macro and micro would be better. then then zerg, and ull see a big different in the gameplay from before

Zerg is harder because of the unit/peon ratio that must always be achieved at every step of the game. I have been playing zerg for like ~6 months and I still havn't got it mastered.

Yeah right.
You'll get owned by zealot rush. If you sunken up, you'll then die to psi storm.

Starting out and mastering is not the same thing?

I find Zerg really hard to play. Good balance between economy and army is very difficult especially in early game. Late game is also hard, units die fast, new units spawn fast, hotkeying is a burden.
I find it much easier to switch between Terran and Protoss.

Terran is definately generally the most hardest race, and has the hardest matchups and will require alot of base and unit management. If you make one mistake with terran on early game vs zerg, you will surely lose the game ex. tear your initial marines on sunkens or impale them to lurker spikes. I find zerg easy in almost any matchup and with zerg you can expand and pump units like no-other race because of hatcheries rather than factories or gates.

The power of the race is mainly depedant on which skill level you are playing. Average terran and protoss usually can't win your average zerg. Average protoss will beat mediocore terran player etc, while at top level anybody can win no-matter the matchup.

All of the races are equally hard to master, if you want to play at top level. It is just a matter of preference what GUI, sounds, gameplay you like!

It's more a matter of identification. If you are filthy and completely moraleless you'll like zerg. If you are filthy and anal retentive with very fast hands Terran definitely will be your choice. Noble souls of great intellect like we Protoss players will prefer, well Protoss of course ;-)
You go to war with the Army you have, not the Army you might want or wish to have at a later time.

On an amateur level yes. Zerg is the easiest in my opinion. Mass, mass mass. Both T and P require much micro, especially PvZ.

all depends on what you're talking about.

toss requires more thinking. terran and zerg require higher speed.

if you're naturally smart yet slow, mastering toss will be easier than terran or zerg. if it's the other way around, then toss will be the hardest for you.

although pvt doesn't really require much of anything.

protoss are a joke.. realy easy to macro//micro and play

zerg are not realy hard but not realy easy but guy 4sz5sz 5sh6sh are not hard no ? in mid game you have nothing more to do and you dont need big micro using zerg... + your pop for overlord are realy easy to not forget.

terran are the most hard by far. you need NON STOP micro//macro + need use hotkey all time and make some nice drop + move during all that you need macro your bass and your unit in the same time all game non stop.
