So on either end of the extremes, are they suggesting the people are thick?

Not sure that is the case here. The wisdom of crowds applies as a counter to specialists and experts.

I'm talking about those in the middle that don't follow either a solely conservative, or liberal political outlook.

[sixthswan]

Yes those people.
