Clinton currently has 1812 pledged delegates to Sanders' 1521. However, AP's survey also includes the Democratic party's superdelegates to secure Clinton's nomination.

There are about 571 superdelegates that have announced that they will support Clinton in the upcoming convention. Their support brings Clinton's total delegate count to 2383, the exact amount she would need to clinch the nomination.

Sanders reportedly only has 48 superdelegates who will vote for him during the Democratic National Convention.

Sanders' campaign argues that AP should not count superdelegates as they will not have the opportunity to vote until July. They further point out that superdelegates have changed their mind on who to vote for in the past, and it is premature to call the entire race.

On the Rachel Maddow show, Michael Briggs pointed out that AP "counts superdelegates that the Democratic National Committee itself says should not be counted because they haven't voted and won't vote until the summer".

Many pundits question the timing of AP's announcement; some Sanders supporters claim the announcement will damage his chances in the upcoming primaries. Sanders, however, would need to win all six states by a large margin to come close to Clinton's current delegate count. 

Furthermore, Clinton has been a longstanding member of the Democratic party, and many of the superdelegates who are voting have strong ties with Hillary.

On the other hand, Sanders has only been a member of the party since 2015, and Sanders is having a difficult time convincing these delegates that he should be the leader of the party.

The winner of the Democratic primaries will go on to face Republican likely nominee Donald J. Trump.
