I would say that American politicians are skewed to the right, but the American people themselves are not.

Progressive ideas are popular with Americans.

I would use neo-liberal to describe many American politicians, including a majority of Democrats, as they tend to have views right of center. But I would use liberal to describe many of the people voting Democrat as their views reflect positions that are at least center left.
