Actually, your numbers are a bit off, but I agree with the sentiment that most Americans claim to be either conservative or moderate. Moderate is the biggest category of swing voters. They literally make or break a Party's chances in elections. Obama and the Dems won the Moderates like me over the last time around. The Moderates seem to be backing away from Obama and the Dems now, because of Health Care and the weakness of the economy. So the Dems have their work cut out for them to swing the pendulum back. Here's what Rasmussen, a conservative polling organization, says:

Then they took the fiscal and social issues and put the results together. The largest segment of the population,
* 24% say they are conservative on both the fiscal and social issues while
* 17% consider themselves to be moderate both fiscally and socially,
* 14% who say they are moderate on the fiscal issues and conservative on the social ones
* 10% who consider themselves to be fiscally conservative and moderate on the social issues,
* 9% who say they are liberal on both the social and fiscal issues, and lastly, 6% who say they are conservative on the fiscal issues, but liberal on the social ones.

So in summary:
Conservative = 24%
Moderate mixed = 41%
Liberal = 9%
