There are no moderates. There are only two major political positions possible in an electoral system based on representation by single member districts and first past the post determination of winners.

Outside of those two major positions, everything else is just part of a thin fringe.

Now that doesn't mean people don't lie to pollsters, or that pollsters don't manipulate the results to favor one or the other candidates, but it does mean that advocacy designed to "go to the middle" or "attract the moderates" is almost always created for the purpose of causing one's own side to LOSE.
