146. This is actually a statistical tie, since the results are within the margin of error.
Another random sample could have produced the opposite result, with HRC appearing to be on top. In other words, it's "too close to call."

"The Democratic nomination results are based on combined data from March 19-21, 2008. For results based on this sample of 1,264 Democratic and Democratic-leaning voters, the maximum margin of sampling error is ±3 percentage points."
