Pollster Nik Nanos describes Conservatives who are second guessing Andrew Scheer's performance 10 months before an election as ‘Nervous Nellies.' Jean Chrétien coined the term back in 1993 when Liberals were nervous about losing the federal election, but ended up reducing the Progressive Conservatives to two seats.

Political insiders say it's too early to make any judgment about Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer's performance as the opposition leader, but pollster Nik Nanos says People's Party MP Maxime Bernier could be a nuisance to Mr. Scheer and his Conservatives in the next election. Mr. Scheer is pictured watching the results roll in with then-Conservative leadership candidate Mr. Bernier at the party's leadership convention in Toronto on May 27, 2017.
