We are reporting an improved determination of the electroweak mixing angle sin2Θw from the ratio of νμe to ν μ e scattering cross sections. The CHARM II detector was exposed to neutrino and antineutrino wide band beams at the 450 GeV CERN SPS. Including new data collected in 1989 we have obtained 1316 ± 56 νμe and 1453 ± 62 ν μ e events. From the ratio of the visible cross sections we determined sin2Θ0=0.239 ± 0.009(stat) ± 0.007(syst) without radiative corrections and g V e g A e =0.047 ± 0.046 . Combining this last result with recent results on gAe at LEP we obtain gVe= −0.023 ± 0.023.
