The vote from the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee to put Obama’s Syrian resolution before the full Senate is essentially meaningless.    The subsequent vote amid the full Senate to support such a resolution is more politically valuable, but not terribly much.
The vote that counts, to authorize President Obama to use our military and attack Syria, will only come from the House of Representatives – The ‘People’s House’.

With that in mind a couple of recent tracking polls, ABC and Think Progress, are in alignment:

The ABC News political unit has put together a “whip count” of how members of the U.S. House of Representatives are likely to vote on the Syria resolution with assistance from the BBC Washington bureau. The count is based on public statements, interviews with aides, and reporting — it could change. ABC News will continue to update this list as new information becomes available.  (link)

OPPOSE MILITARY ACTION IN SYRIA: 63
LIKELY TO OPPOSE: 136                                         Total Oppose – 199

SUPPORT MILITARY ACTION IN SYRIA: 20
LIKELY TO SUPPORT: 25                                        Total Support – 45

UNDECIDED: 153

The Think Progress folks have a good tracking map along with the individual congress critters who are voting, so you can see how your congress person is going to vote.  The Huffington Post is coordinating vote tracking also.   [Use this link]
