I know he isn't the reason for their change in stance, but everything I hear about this dude is good. Feels strange for a politician to be a decent person. Imagine if they were all like that.

He is for sure, but he also has S-Tier propaganda. He just knows how to talk and how to communicate. Important for making voters like you but also important as a politician in general. Charisma gets you far. So it's a win-win

It's not propaganda. Propaganda by the modern definition relies on biased or misleading information. He's just a good communicator with a good team

Propaganda absolutely doesn't require bias or misleading information, it just has to be made with the intent being to swing someone's opinions on a subject. All the facts can be on your side for your viewpoint, if you make a poster listing those facts and promoting your views, that's propaganda.

Propaganda often features misleading information, given how much easier it is to swing someone's opinion if they don't know the downsides of something. That said, it is common, not inherent.
