Not anymore, with the carbon-route elements they built a pretty awesome routing system. https://elements.polymer-project.org/elements/carbon-route

It's not supposed to have one. Polymer is simply a shim and collection of WebComponents. Polymer isn't a fully-fledged application framework itself. You'd still use something like Flux, Redux or Cycle (with a router) on top of Polymer. Polymer is intended to be used essentially for views only - the same role React plays in the Redux + React stack.
