What is the word between strong and weak.
Hi, happy new year.
I need an answer asap. Don't tell the answer is neutral or in the middle.
I want to do sentence like : KFC consumer-brand relationship is not weak or strong. Based on the respondents answer, KFC relationship with their fans are in the middle.
but it doesn't sound right.

I don't think there's any single "right word" for this. Thank you for giving a specific example of the situation you are trying to describe. Honestly, "in the middle" is as good as anything. I might write the sentence as:
"Based on the respondents' answers, KFC's consumer-brand relationship is neither weak nor strong, but somewhere in the middle."
It is also reasonable to leave it out; having said "neither weak nor strong" there's no real need to say more:
"Based on the respondents' answers, KFC's consumer-brand relationship is not unusually weak or strong."
"Average" can work, too:
"Based on the respondents' answers, KFC's consumer-brand relationship is about average, neither weak nor strong."
"Based on the respondents' answers, KFC's consumer-brand relationship is about normal for a fast-food franchise, neither weaker nor stronger."
Depending on the situations, words expressing something in between "weak" and "strong" could include "normal," "par," "average," "typical," "moderate," "fair-to-middling," "mediocre," "plain," "ordinary," but the choice would involve the overall phrasing of the entire sentence.

You can say that it is 'of average strength,' or 'moderately strong.'
