You realize that actual poverty (as strictly defined and used to track economic progress / compare countries) was eliminated long ago in the US, right? That's why Obama tried (did? It's been a few years, so I don't remember what the end result was) to redefine poverty as a percentage of all income earners, so that government programs to "fight poverty" would always grow.
