Abstract
In powerful FRII radio galaxies and quasars the polarization of the two radio lobes is often very asymmetric and strongly correlated with jet sidedness. These sources usually have one-sided jets and the lobe on the jet side depolarizes more slowly than the one on the counter-jet side (Laing 1988; Garrington et al. 1988). This correlation can be interpreted in terms of depolarization of the receding lobe by a halo of hot gas surrounding the radio source and is in the expected sense if the jet asymmetry is due to Doppler boosting.
