Mike Duffy Lets slip Liberal Strategy

On Countdown last night, Mike Duffy let slip that he was in on the Liberal conference call, or was at least privy to the information being talked about on that call. What he intimated was that the new Liberal strategy was to say that they are still in this race and have a chance at beating the Conservatives. They were relying on internal polling which showed the race tightening.

Are the polls tightening, such as SES, Ekos, and Decima, and that's why the Liberals are trying this new tactic? Or are they trying this new tactic and thus the polls are being produced to match this new story line? My guess is the Liberals really don't think they have a chance but can claim they do in order to rally the "anyone but Harper" crowd. Either way, the strategy is working because I'm getting a little anxious over here!
