"The US economy grew in the three months to September, official figures showed.
The world's largest economy expanded at an annualised rate of 2% in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said, more than had been expected.
The US has now been growing for more than three years, since June 2009.
The figures are the last set of important economic data before the US presidential election between Barack Obama and his challenger Mitt Romney on 6 November."
