This Letter reports on measurements of the longitudinal polarization fractions in the decays B_d→J/ψK^*0 and B_s→J/ψφ using data collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab. B_d mesons are reconstructed through the decay chain B_d→J/ψK^*0, J/ψ→μ⁺μ^-, K^*0→K⁺π^-. A sample of 65±10B_d events is used to obtain a longitudinal polarization fraction of γ_L/γ = 0.65±0.10(stat)±0.04(syst). B_s mesons are reconstructed through the decay chain B_s→J/ψφ, J/ψ→μ⁺μ^-, φ→K⁺K^-. A sample of 19±5B_s events is used to obtain the result γ_L/γ = 0.56±0.21(stat)_-0.04^+0.02(syst).
