Do You Register

The poll taker asked, "Are you registered to vote at this address?"
"Yes," Suzanna Smith responded.
"May I please speak with an adult who is not registered to vote at this address?"
"Yes. That would be Uncle George," Suzanna Smith responded.
"May I please speak with Uncle George?"
She called Uncle George to the phone, and the poll taker started asking him questions. "In what year were you born?"
"1962," Uncle George responded.
"Are you married, divorced, widowed or never married?"
"Divorced."
"Do you consider yourself to be conservative, moderate or liberal in your political opinions?"
"Moderate."
"Although you are not currently registered to vote, if you were to register to vote in next year's election, would you be more likely to register as a Republican, as a Democrat or as an Independent?"
"Well, I can't really answer that question?"
"Are you saying that you don't know?"
"No," Uncle George responded, "I am saying that the question isn't right, and therefore I cannot answer it."
What was wrong with the poll taker's question?
