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.

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.
