Unfortunately, these surveys don't mean much. Most Libertarians incorrectly report themselves as conservatives, skewing the numbers. And "moderate" is a completely useless term to describe someone's political stance.
For the truth that lies at the heart of theology is not something there to be discovered, but something, or rather someone, to whom we must surrender. The mystery of faith is not ultimately something that invites our questioning, but something that questions us.

But they didn't list themselves as Liberals either for a reason, eh?

They didn't recently in Virginia and New Jersey! Candidates he campaigned on the ground for!

This clearly states that they are rejecting his radical policies... and it's only the beginning of the rejection unless he moderates his actions and moves back to the American conservative center.
