From our friend Jennifer, who works for IBM - one of her customers is the Census Bureau...See the article here.

Subject: Census Bureau says 1.3 million more Americans in poverty - Aug. 26, 2004

This data has been much anticipated (my project deployed it today on our website: http://factfinder.census.gov).

Apparently, there was a great deal of controversy surrounding the release date for this Income and Poverty data. We usually deploy this data in October, but received pressure to deploy it earlier (read: release bad economic data further from the election so the Bush Administration can spin it out of the news). Don't forget what his adminstration has done to this country in the last 4 years!
