And yet you quote it...!
You could have at least tried ascertaining the source of the graph: the "Spring Global Attitudes Suvey [sic]: Q10c" -- then you would have found the second "Germany" is in fact Greece: original source here:
http://www.pewglobal.org/2016/06/07/euroskepticism-beyond-brexit/.
And then you might decide never again to quote the
Express as a reliable source of anything.

You are equating from that graph, without any justification from the data, "unfavorable" views of the EU with a vote for leaving; not the same thing at all. (In August, a poll published by
Le Figaro said 33% would opt for Frexit.)
(Incidentally the original Pew data includes the, frankly astonishing, statistic that "13% of those who identify with UKIP hold a favorable opinion of the EU"; make of that what you will.)
