It's just too hard to pidgeon-hole in favour of one ideology or another. What I'd like to see - if it's not too complicated (i.e. not confuse voters) - is if they are polled or exit-polled instead of pollsters asking them whether they define themselves as liberal, moderate or conservative, how about asking them whether they are liberal, populist, centrist, conservative or libertarian. It would be interesting to see the findings on both the national and state level
In the absence of such data, I would say that most voters are center-left or center-right, with relatively few belonging to either the far left or the far right (of these two, I'd say the latter is more numerous)
