It also depends on how long the questionnaire is. Most media polls don't ask too many questions, but candidates that are polling for information about potential campaign strategies often employ longer questionaires (sometimes lasting 30-45 minutes). These polls are more expensive, because they require more time per respondent and require more calls because fewer respondents are willing to get through them.
As the election gets closer, tracking polls become more frequent, and the questionnaires become much shorter, so each polling is much less expensive.
