  We present multiple spectropolarimetric observations of the nearby Type Ia
supernova (SN) 2011fe in M101, obtained before, during, and after the time of
maximum apparent visual brightness. The excellent time coverage of our
spectropolarimetry has allowed better monitoring of the evolution of
polarization features than is typical, which has allowed us new insight into
the nature of normal SNe Ia. SN 2011fe exhibits time-dependent polarization in
both the continuum and strong absorption lines. At early epochs, red
wavelengths exhibit a degree of continuum polarization of up to 0.4\%, likely
indicative of a mild asymmetry in the electron-scattering photosphere. This
behavior is more common in sub-luminous SNe Ia than in normal events, such as
SN2011fe. The degree of polarization across a collection of absorption lines
varies dramatically from epoch to epoch. During the earliest epoch a
$\lambda$4600-5000 \AA\ complex of absorption lines shows enhanced polarization
at a different position angle than the continuum. We explore the origin of
these features, presenting a few possible interpretations, without arriving at
a single favored ion. During two epochs near maximum, the dominant polarization
feature is associated with the Si{\sc ii} $\lambda$6355 \AA\ absorption line.
This is common for SNeIa, but for SN2011fe the polarization of this feature
increases after maximum light, whereas for other SNeIa, that polarization
feature was strongest before maximum light.
