John,

There may have been a shift in public attitude from doubt and grievance to optimism and enthusiasm. With Biden finally stepping aside, Harris and Watz happily filled the gap.

In short, what people LIKE has shifted (hopefully, this remains because opportunities will arise that leadership can capitalize on).

Kamala Harris was never particularly LIKABLE as Donald Trump has always been (although awful). A flip has happened because the ambiance has changed.

Interestedly, Trump can't find his Kamala feet, and Harris can ride to the presidency on a popular wave.

Best.
