Good morning.

Here’s what you need to know:

• New York state of mind.

The front-runners Hillary Clinton and Donald J. Trump, both in a bit of a slump, are looking for a lift today in the New York primaries. Here’s what we’ll be watching for in tonight’s results.

Both candidates have parties planned tonight in New York, a sign of confidence, but all is not rosy for them. They are growing increasingly unpopular, a new poll finds, and Mrs. Clinton’s rating is her lowest since the poll started tracking her favorability in 2001.

A top aide has left Mr. Trump’s campaign, and some New York residents are recalling when Mr. Trump unsuccessfully tried to evict them from rent-controlled apartments.
