We have measured the polarization of the 2p{sub 3/2}{yields}1s{sub 1/2} Lyman-{alpha}{sub 1} x-ray line of hydrogenlike Ar{sup 17+} and Fe{sup 25+} at electron-impact energies ranging from 7 to 25 threshold units. The highly charged argon and iron ions were produced using the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory SuperEBIT electron beam ion trap. A combination of two crystal spectrometers and a microcalorimeter were used to record the Lyman-{alpha} x-ray emission of Ar{sup 17+} and Fe{sup 25+} and to infer the polarization of the Lyman-{alpha}{sub 1} line. Our results show a systematic discrepancy with the predictions of distorted-wave calculations.
