In my experience it is easier to get a job or convince a potential employer to hire you if you are already in work. However, if you are demotivated in your job you may come across at interview as desperate and therefore less likely to get the job.
If you leave you should at least have a clear plan of what you are going to do. I think in this climate I would stick with what you are doing but work to explore other opportunities. Give yourself a deadline to do this (say 3 months) and by which time you will either have a new job or you can reflect on how well you've done staying where you are or how hard it is to get a new position.
There is no easy answer but having done both things I would say staying and finding the opportunity while in work was far easier than burning your bridges too soon.
