Callie Crossley continues our election-year series 30 Issues in 30 Days with a look at poverty.
We look at why it’s taken a back seat in the lead-up to elections, even as 47 million Americans struggle to pull themselves up out of poverty.
Do you think poverty should be the first topic in tonight’s debate? Do you think candidates have done a good job addressing it? Did the Occupy movement push it any further into public consciousness?
