Pollyanna Creep is a phrase that originated in 2004 with John Williams, a California-based economic analyst and statistician. It describes the way the U.S. government has modified the way important economic measures are calculated with the purpose of giving a more optimistic impression of economic development. This is a clear reference, in a sarcastic way, to Pollyanna's proverbial optimism. Williams and other economic analysts, such as Kevin P. Phillips, argue that such manipulations distort the perception of electors and economic factors and have ill effects on political and investment decisions.
