how much would a polling firm charge a media outlet, such as a newspaper, to poll a state?  50k?

yes, but are those numbers what it cost the polling firm to do the poll, or is it what they charged their 'client'.  im assuming they charge a newspaper or tv station more than it costs in order to make a profit.

isnt there an ethical problem with newspapers and news stations paying for polls?  they are essentially 'buying' stories, which is a big journalism no-no.
