Spectropolarimetric observations of 3 broad line radio galaxies exhibiting double peaked broad Hα lines, show that two of the sources (Arpl02B and 3C390.3) have single peaked line profiles in polarized flux with a position angle aligned with the jet axis. The third source (3C382) exhibits no polarized line emission at all. The consequences of these observations for the relativistic accretion disk and other BLR models are discussed.
