What's more important than the economy? The rest is chaffe.

I wouldn't read too much into it.
While people believed Romney could deal with the economy better, he failed to provide anything substantive, and what little he put out he failed to explain.
If you notice, the Democrats took a beating in the House. The Republicans picked up lots of seats from Democrats and now hold 232 House seats (plus the Blue Dog Democrats).
That's very reminiscent of the Clinton-era:
We'll allow a Democrat to sit as President, but we want a Republican Congress to check the power of the President.
For Obama and the Democrats, it was Pyrrhic Victory.
