New VLA polarization data for 140 radio sources have been used to study the correlation between VLBI structural position angle and radio and optical polarization position angles reported in Rusk and Seaquist (1985). We confirm that there is a strong tendency, in active galaxies and quasars, for the radio E vector (of the core component) to lie normal to the VLBI structural axis. However, in BL Lac objects we find a tendency for the core radio E vector to be aligned parallel to the VLBI structural axis.
