That speaks more to their respective presidencies than it does statistics. Pretending the incumbent doesn't have a natural advantage is simply denial.
Biden is everybody's 2nd choice which is fine.  He's done an excellent job in US and in foreign policy, leading the fight in the Ukraine for democracy against fascism and oligarchy.
There's a LOT to be said for keeping the continuity of good policies started and seen through.  Transforming US away from fossil fuels, defeating Putin in Ukraine.
Here's a major league example.
The man in charge of how the US spends $400bn to shift away from fossil fuels The Department of Energy’s loan programs office was ‘essentially dormant’, says Jigar Shah, its head – but now it’s ready to bankroll clean energy projects. >

1st choice for me! 😤  we haven't had a president w such strong foreign policy in decades!  And we really need someone like him w Russia and china being cray cray. >

Ugh he is just to damn old for me unfortunately and I'd rather see someone younger than him running. >

I much rather have a good president than a worse one regardless of the age.  It's not like I'm trying to date Biden.  I would let him buy me ice cream in his corvette tho. >

It’s not an arbitrary concern though. Like if he dies suddenly, it is problematic. It’s also a troubling trend for politicians to clutch power for 50 years at a time. >

If he dies, (not in any way would I want this to happen) But if he does, we would get our first female president. That wouldn't be so bad now, would it? >

Lol I mean not fundamentally I guess.
I think Biden is actually doing great and I’d be fine with Harris, but it’s not ideal. Besides, if she dies then we currently get Kevin Fucking McCarthy I think?
Not ideal. >

Remember and do what? Vote for DeSantis in '24? The message from Biden is clear; "I am not on your side, I'm banking on you seeing the other side as even worse." >

What happened? Before they preferred someone else, but now they want him. >

Democratic insiders prefer (or are unwilling to oppose) Biden, Democrats in general do not. >

I wasn't particularly excited by the prospect of a Biden presidency. I thought he would at least be the calm, rational "keep the lights on" kind of guy that the country needed after the 4 previous years of mayhem, though. He's by far exceeded my expectations. I now see why he was such a vital ally to Obama. >

He honestly has been much closer to what I expected out of Obama than Obama himself. 
He clearly was paying attention and learned on the job. >

Here’s the way I see it:
He should run again. He’s been the most productive and efficient president in mine and many other Americans’ lifetimes. 
I’m not too concerned about age because he has the best healthcare in the world and if he’s in good health (which he seems to be), then he should continue doing this country a service.
Let us have 4 more years of a damn good politician and progress and we’ll talk in 2028 about a younger, Democrat president. >

I feel Biden has offered this country real stability after a total shit storm and continuation could help. >

A good call from Democrats. He's far from perfect, but also far better than the alternatives the GOP has to offer, and abandoning the built in pump of being an incumbent for someone else would be the dumbest political move ever.
And to the administrations credit - he actually passed an infrastructure bill and has the massive foreign policy win of how he's handled Russia during his administration - that part especially has been damn near poetic. >

Of the last 8 presidents, 4 failed to win reelection.  In recent history, presidential incumbency has little if any demonstrable effect.
