You can map response and save in an object how many times each id was seen:

var counter = {};
response.map(function(item) {
    counter[item.day_id] = (counter[item.day_id] || 0) + 1;
});

Your results are in counter:

console.log(counter);
// { '1': 2, '2': 1 }

Hope it helps.

Do not use .map, use .forEach as it doesn't return another array

and the code could be a little cleaner:

var counter = {};
response.forEach(function(item) {
    counter[item.day_id] = ++counter[item.day_id] || 1;
});
