Abstract: The status of the electroweak precision measurements as of winter 2004 and the global test of the Standard Model are discussed. Important input data are the precision variables measured on the Z resonance at LEP and SLC and the measurements of the W mass at LEP~2 and Tevatron. A new combination of Tevatron experiments CDF and D0 on the top mass allows to set constraints on the radiative corrections and therefore to put improved limits on the mass of the Higgs boson. Additionally the impact of the NuTeV result on the weak mixing angle and the status of the calculation of the hadronic vacuum polarization $Δα_{\rm had}$ are discussed.
