Because the data is old. The study pooled American National Election Study surveys from 1970 to 2004, and during the Cold War the ANES regularly asked people where they stood on relations with the Soviet Union. The question was a 7-point scale running from "we should try to cooperate more with Russia" (the liberal end) to "we should be much tougher in our dealings with Russia" (the conservative end).
