There again, I, too, don't fall into that category: I look to the U.S. Military and even my local police for security (except that I also "carry") but I believe that the government is more to be feared than counted on when the chips are down. I have had some encounters with the IRS so that has skewed my thinking.
Again, the so-called conservative women usually believe in "global warming," "carbon footprints," think that kids games should not keep score and desire "world peace."
What counts as conservative for men usually does not equate for many, if not most women!
Typically, polls like this over-sample Donkeys by a considerable margin. My guess is this is a “push” poll to bolster the Donkey socialist agenda.
However, we still have to take it into account that two generations of school kids have been indoctrinated to love big government and socialism as the cure-all for the world's ills. That's very scary to me.
