Possibly a result of the attack style campaigns? Instead of trying to get the message out about why you should choose a party based on their platform, they are sending messages why you shouldn't choose the other based on certain people or characteristics. This tends to cause people go into a more defensive mindset, especially if you like some of the policies but possibly not the leader.
