There wasn't much doubt that Reagan had a broad mandate after his re-election by 18 points.

Indeed. But my question was about the center.

I assumed by the center you meant the center of the liberal/conservative continuum. I don't see how in this election a mandate for Obama would necessarily indicate a shift in the center. We've seen centrists and conservatives and this libertarian attracted to his intellect and temperament. There's no reason that I know of to assume that non-Democrats who opt for Obama have moved left in their thinking. You seem to be equating a vote for Obama with a vote for liberalism.
