If there were to be a referendum on the euro in November, about 44 percent would vote yes while about 42 percent would vote no, the statistics office said Tuesday. The number of Swedes positive to the euro has increased since last spring.

More men than women are positive towards the euro - about 50 percent compared to about 37 percent.

About 14 percent say they do not know how they would vote.

The proportion of those who say they are mainly for Sweden's EU membership in November 2009 is about 56 percent. The proportion is unchanged in relation to both May 2009 and November 2008.

Despite current consensus, a referendum is likely to be a long way off. Sweden’s centre-right government will not hold another referendum during its current turn in office, which ends in September 2010. They have also made it clear that a referendum is not likely during the next four-year term, if they stay in office.

If the main opposition, the newly formed red-green alliance win, it's highly unlikely that they will hold a referendum, as the Green Party and the Left Party have always been opposed to the euro.
