Economic Growth Rate Highest Since 2011


Good news on the economic front that will no doubt be reflected in rising poll numbers for President Obama and Democrats (riiiiight!):
The U.S. economy grew at a rate of 4.6 percent in the second quarter, according to gross domestic product numbers released Friday morning by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. 
It represents the fastest rate of growth since the last three months of 2011 as companies increased investments and households spent more, Bloomberg reported. 
The figure, up from 2.5 percent growth in the same period last year, was revised up from a previous estimate of 4.2 percent in August.
We also expect this to be the lead news story on tonight's news (riiiight! again).
