Outgoing economic advisor Brian Deese declared the state of the economy 'strong' on the eve of President Biden's State of the Union speech – but fended off questions about a series of polls where Americans registered their dissatisfaction about their own economic standing. 'The state of the economy is strong. You see that in the lowest unemployment rate in 53 years,' he told reporters at the White House.Deese also talked up the resilience of the U.S. economy compared to other nations, but still had to contend with an ABC News / Washington Post poll where 41 per cent of respondents said they were not as well off as when Biden took office, and another survey where about Biden seeking reelection.
