Interesting perspective from NPR

Presidential Debates Can Be Great Theater, But How Much Do They Matter?
I agree that debates tend to not make that great a difference on people's perspectives of the candidates. Generally by the time the big debate comes around, voters have already decided whom they are voting for and it would take a giant scandal or something comparable to change their minds. That doesn't mean people won't watch- they're still fascinating spectacles and, when done right, can be very enlightening.
