Therein lies the rub. There aren't any democrats that poll better.

No other democrat is campaigning though...

True. However, national exposure is a large factor and even if there was someone vetted, they still will walk unintroduced on the national stage.

Factually untrue.

This has Biden down 6 points. And Kamala only down 2.

https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/02/politics/cnn-poll-post-debate/index.html

But your comparing Biden as "the candidate" with the DNC and millions of dollars of campaign against people that haven't even said they're willing to run...

Obviously anyone else that becomes the candidate would see a significant boost to their numbers both short and long term.

But others also are polling closer (better) than Biden...

Several other Democrats have been mentioned as potential Biden replacements in recent days, and each trails Trump among registered voters, with their levels of support similar to Biden’s, including California Gov. Gavin Newsom (48% Trump to 43% Newsom), Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (47% Trump to 43% Buttigieg), and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (47% Trump to 42% Whitmer).

That's 4 people polling better than Biden in the last couple days....

Weird you haven't seen it yet.
