The effect of beam polarization on Higgs resonance signals and backgrounds (b{bar b},{tau}{bar {tau}},c{bar c}) at the First Muon Collider is studied. Angular distributions (forward-backward charge asymmetries) are examined. The resulting effective enhancement of the Higgs signal relative to the background is investigated as is the reduction in scan time required for Higgs {open_quotes}discovery.{close_quotes} {copyright} {ital 1998 American Institute of Physics.}
