Running cooler than normal

i have a 95 caprice with a 4.3L V8 and recently it has been running cooler than normal and the heat never gets very hot but it gets warm. by cooler i mean the meter on the dash used to go about half way and now it only goes a little more than 25% of the way. could this be the thermostat? any help would be appreciated

Sounds like the thermostat might be stuck open.
