A majority of compact steep-spectrum (CSS) and GHz-peaked spectrum (GPS) sources show low integrated polarizations (≲ 1%) at or below 5 GHz. To investigate whether this is mostly due to large rotation measures (RMs) arising from their being cocooned in dense gaseous envelopes we have observed 26 CSSs and GPSs at 8 and 15 GHz with the VLA A-array. The sample includes equal numbers whose hosts are galaxies and quasars.
