As previous posters have pointed out, Corbyn is VERY popular among Labour members, many very fanatical in their support, which is why they haven't got rid of him, and in fact his control over the party has increased. He was significantly emboldened the 2017 election when he turned a 20 point loss into a 2 point loss.
As for the idea that Labour would be doing better if not for Corbyn, the data doesn't agree. Most other candidates wouldn't have the same populist appeal as Corbyn. There aren't many viable candidates who could replace him, let alone defeat the Tories.
Note: This poll was taken mid-surge, so Corbyn's numbers are higher now.
