The left-right spectrum is absurd on its face, so this is best looked at on individual issues. For example, a Vox poll offering 7 options ranging from most liberal to most conservative found that most people were left of center on marijuana while about half were right of the GOP on immigration (this poll was conducted during the primaries and helped explain why Trump was able to defeat the GOP establishment using that issue).
I've noticed that people are more likely to identify as conservative than liberal on exit polls, but the self described moderates tend to lean to the left (perhaps because the media's idea of the center is actually quite a bit to the left so they think they're dead center when they're not). Conversely, independents usually lean right and slightly more people are registered democrats than republicans.
