These poverty, inc, and hth ins data are last year's data, so their news window closes quickly, but before that occurs, pls read our thread. There are powerful policy lessons in here, including some relevant to current @POTUS agenda.

Gov't support made a huge difference to economically vulnerable households last year; direct impact checks were particularly potent. Middle-class inc fell last year and poverty rose if you ignore these benefits; the reverse if you include them.
IOW, policy matters and we know how to aggressively and effectively attack poverty and income loss. That old meme--'we fought a war on poverty and poverty won'--is demonstrably false if you account for anti-poverty policy (as does the SPM)! 
This lesson is carried forward by @POTUS's investment agenda. These 2020 policy gains are huge but they must be followed by policies that lastingly cement these gains, as @CenterOnBudget describes:

Long-term investments in care, climate, education, lead-free pipes, housing, and more, build on these gains from temporary fiscal policy to offset the pandemic shock, providing people the chance not just to get out of poverty, but to stay out of poverty.
