“28 percent of those who report having given birth or fathered a child as a teen lived in families with incomes below the federal poverty line”

I wonder what percentage of the population is at or below the federal poverty line.

Good question. In the United States, 12.8% are below the poverty line according to the (reasonably reliable and objective) 2004 American Community Survey.
