What is your idea of a moderate viewpoint?

People talk about left, right and centrist positions, but I'm wondering what would actually constitute a moderate (centrist) viewpoint in people's opinions, what the benchmark is that people use to say leftwing and rightwing.

A moderate candidate in my eyes would be pro-choice on abortion, anti death penalty or for very extreme circumstances only <add more when thought of>

A moderate is someone who fears genuine improvement, yet wants to appear progressive.
