A guarded "no".
My faith in the suits not to mess this up is way too low. Plenty of other ways they can screw this one up too.
Hate Alias, but I like MIIII though, so... I have this sense it's going to stink, but there's still this tiny glimmer of hope that I fear is going to get crushed.

Ouch, looking at that gender breakdown, I guess looking for a date at a Trek XI showing isn't gonna work! 
I have to vote "I don't know." The 4 years I spent defending Enterprise -- a show I did and still like -- has really soured me on new Trek product. I'm hesitatnt to lend my support behind something that I might find myself having to defend later. I'm also not sure yet with regards to what the have planned; again, having seen the response to ENT I know the fanbase doesn't like prequels, and I still think it's foolhardy for Abrams to be doing a prequel that, he has claimed, will adhere to canon. I really can't see how this will be possible.
I am much more interested in seeing a reimagining or a reboot that lets the previous canon rest in peace and starts fresh, without having to be constantly looking over its shoulder at the last 40+ years.
I still maintain interest from a curiosity perspective, which is why I continue to discuss it in these discussion threads, so I'm not dismissing it out of hand. But a lot will depend on whether I'm going to have to cross a picket line in December 2008 manned by people wearing Starfleet uniforms and Vulcan ears complaining about Snoop Dogg being cast as Kirk or something like that...
Cheers!

No.
The fanbase has NO problem with prequels whatsoever. In fact, most people were pretty okay, if not outright enthusiastic about a prequel. What the fanbase has a problem with, is a bad show, even more with a bad prequel that screws up with regards to continuity over and over again.
That's a nice poll, but it's hard to see any correlations between the answers. For instance, are 40-44 year old males looking forward to the movie more or less than 20-24 year old females? It would be interesting to see that kind of information.
FYI: 40-44 year old, male, YES!!!

Of course; it's a new Star Trek movie. What else needs to be said?
