True in general, but the massive shifts in support for Harris over Biden among several key demographics strongly suggests that a lot of folks now see an opportunity to vote for a candidate they like.

Some folks, sure. There's persuadable voters out there who aren't motivated by negative partisanship.

But note that the number of folks that actually made those shifts number in the single digits, and even then only in specific sub-categories (referring to the margin of support, rather than the percentage that switched, essentially doubles the size of the shift). Overall, switching out Harris for Biden moved maybe 5-7% of declared voting preferences in the polls. Which is big in this day and age, but not inconsistent with the idea that most of the electorate is pretty much locked in to one party or the other.
