Did you even try to look into this yourself before you asked this question? Have you ever been to a casino? They must love to see "professional statisticians" like you coming.
A blog? Your resorting to blogs now? Did you google ARG and find a negative result on the tenth page and decide that was good enough to entirely undermine ARG's credibility? Did you even read the blog? Do you know whose blog it is and what his history with ARG's founder is? "Mr. Bennett's attempt to hide a substantial amount of cash from his deceased father's estate that should have been used for the care of his mother, is this sort of individual trustworthy as a head of a polling organization?" Sounds like a hatchet job by a guy with a grudge, no? But just for the sake of argument let's assume this guy is teling the truth...please tell us how Mr. Bennett's family financial dealings disqualify the finding that 78% of NH voters favor a speed limit? Specifically? How is the accuracy of the poll done by his employees undone by Bennett's relationship with his mother?

In the first paragraph, I did not make the numbers up. It is publish in the nh.gov website. If you can't find it, here is the link. Quit discrediting me.

In the second paragraph, I have searched and searched and have not found one positive blog or feedback regarding ARG. If you can find one, I will be more than happy to read it and take it into consideration.
What makes no sense if that how can 64% of those polled are in favor of the speed limit then 83% thinks 45/25 makes the lakes safer???? Does not make sense!
Show me the link to the 2007 poll that you are trying to tell me and I will believe you. ARG do not have that poll listed on their website. You need to back up what you say. Like I did.
