Even the CBS poll that skewed Romney showed him pre debate on the economy 71 to 27, but post debate numbers showed him 65 to 34.

He lost ground, 6 points to be exact.
So the President convinced some pro Romney voters that Romney isn't better.
On edit, some reports cite that 65 number without indicating that Romney actually lost ground.
