Voter in the middle (8)

I believe the answer is:

centrist

(Other definitions for centrist that I've seen before include "One taking the middle ground" , "Politician who takes middle-of-the-road position" , "Person who takes a middle-of-the-road political position" , "A middle-of-the-road person in politics" , "Moderate politician" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
