Well, I'm 77 and out here in my neck of the woods it meant a bit cock-eyed of goofy long before Left and Right politics became the popular language of the day. When I was young we called them either Patriots or Traitors and there was not much room for question. Conservative was applied to those who wished to keep the principles of the founding fathers and Liberals came to mean those who wished to throw the baby out with the bath water. Since the days of my youth I have covered a good portion of the globe, lived on both coasts, and work with every type of iindividual you can imagine, but those are the terms I was raised with.

I'm 78 and I've never heard "left of center" used to mean anything but politically liberal. I just did a Google search for the definition of the phrase and all the results were similar to this:

Adj. 1. left-of-center - believing in or supporting tenets of the political left
left-wing, leftist

left - of or belonging to the political or intellectual left
