The real delegate count as of Sunday
is Clinton 677 Sanders 478. Superdelegates include all Democratic members
of the House and Senate and sitting Democratic governors; the rest are chosen
during the primaries. Superdelegates are free to support any candidate for the
nomination.
So, why is the media reporting Clinton 1137 Sanders 498? The answer is simple, the media is heavily invested in a Clinton win. Most voters want their vote to count, so they vote for a winner, and by presenting her with a big lead, those on the fence will vote for Clinton.
