America Media?
La mayoria de America?
Clase Media Americana? este me parece quiza el mas exacto pero no se si sera lo mas adecuado hacer enfasis a clase social en este contexto?

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Asker: Mil gracias por la sugerencia, es buena porque me parece que retiene el tono del original. Tienes razon, "MIddle AMerica" can be mid-latitudes of the Americas (Central America), the Midwestern United States, o Mesoamerica, according to wikipedia, but the correct definition in this context is "Middle America (United States), a political reflection of those living in the interior of the continental United States by those living in its coastal areas; also, the American middle class, especially its traditional or conservative elements." Es dificil incluir todo ese significado y mantener el tono del texto original

agree  MikeGarcia: Sería algo así como decir "average America", el "americano término medio"...
