You also have to keep in mind that many moderates are actually liberals who just don't call themselves liberals (sort of like what happens with so-called Independents). The right-wing has had some success with making "liberal" a dirty word. Democrats pretty much always win moderates, short of a huge landslide. Even Dukakis won moderates in 1988. It's not whether or not Democrats win moderates, but by how much. (I'm speaking nationally. Things get more complicated among individual states.)
