WASHINGTON D.C. -

Mitt Romney returns to the campaign trail today with new life in his run for the presidency. A CBS News poll of uncommitted voters shows he won last night's debate by a 2 to 1 margin. 

 Mitt Romney set the debate tone early. Romney slammed the President's economic record and laid out his own plan. But the President repeatedly insisted that Romney is calling for a 8 trillion dollars in tax cuts and spending that cannot be paid for without adding to the deficit or burdening middle income Americans.

The President also criticized his opponent for not providing more details about Wall Street reform and healthcare.  Privately, the Obama campaign is conceding that Romney's extensive debate preparation paid off at a time when he needed a lift. Many viewers saw a President not at the top of his game. But not everyone is giving the win to Romney. The President and Mitt Romney square off again two more times. The next debate is a town hall style event in New York.  The Vice Presidential candidates debate next week in Kentucky.
