We prove that the Euler characteristic of an even-dimensional compact manifold with positive (nonnegative) sectional curvature is positive (nonnegative) provided that the manifold admits an isometric action of a compact Lie group G with principal isotropy group H and cohomogeneity k such that k - (rankG - rank H) l.
