The reality is about 20% of the country are hardcore conservatives and about 20% are hardcore liberals and the rest fall somewhere in the middle. That is why the independent vote is so sought after in elections and it is why they call the moderates the silent majority. They are the majority, they just don't make a lot of noise.
