Fascinating. Dec 1972 For joining Common Market 39%, Against 45%; Jan 1973 We were right to join 38%, Wrong 36% Gallup
I was prompted to look this up by discussion with @BenChu_ at the @Independent Brexit event this evening 
He suggested after decades of relative economic decline, British wanted to join; & after decades of relative growth, wanted to leave
But it was more complex than that
And more complex still, because that Jan 1973 finding was a blip
