Even though Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in Texas in early March, Barack Obama seems to have won over more delegates.

Obama has an overwhelming edge against Clinton. This has allowed him to hang on to a slim lead during Texas’ delegate selection process which will conclude in June where both delegates have a strong chance of winning the nomination.

The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Monday that Obama is likely to end up with 36 to 38 of the 67 total delegates up for grabs from the caucus process. Clinton is expected to finish with 29 to 31 delegates. Clinton won the March 4 popular vote by a 51% to 47% margin, giving her 65 delegates from that process to Obama’s 61. That means Obama could end up with 97 to 99 delegates, while Clinton would have 94 to 96.

Not only that, but Obama now leads Clinton by double digits according to a new Gallup Poll. This isn’t the first time during this presidential campaign that one of the candidates has had a double digit lead during the race to the White House. Clinton held an 11-point lead over Obama in early February.
