I see you're in a bit of a morbid mood tonight from your threads. :(
Well, in this one, you asked two different questions. The thread title is "are you scared of dying?", whereas the poll title is "Are you scared of dying eventually?", and I think the two are very different questions.
Everyone dies eventually, so obsessing over how or when or why it will happen is meaningless. I know some people that say they would find it liberating to know exactly when and how they will die, but I think it's ridiculous. It's useless to worry about something that will inevitably happen to everyone since nobody is in a position whereby they are or will be able to conquer mortality in the foreseeable future. Presuming you die in your sleep at an old age (as an example), you have no sight, no sound, and you feel nothing. It's a painless way to go and to be honest, you won't even know you're "gone". Is this what you mean when you say "dying eventually" ? Because I'm not scared of that (although obviously I enjoy life and don't want it to end).
Per contra, the verb "dying" on its own could be used to describe an innumerable number of frightful ways to meet your end. I'm sure most people wouldn't be scared of the notion of "falling asleep forever", whereas others would be scared of being flayed to death with a rusty scythe. I'm not sure one can be truly afraid of dying, since none of us know what it means to die (except fear of the unknown, perhaps?). It's merely the pain that's often associated with death that really scares most of us.
tl;dr - I selected "maybe" because the question is ambiguous.
