In this paper, we study how to predict the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background using knowledge of only the temperature (intensity) and the cross-correlation between temperature and polarization. We derive a ``Wiener prediction'' method and apply it to the WMAP all-sky CMB temperature maps and to the MAXIMA field.
