General election

Campaign

Despite spending most of the campaign at a financial disadvantage to the incumbent, the Allen campaign capitalized on a Barrow fundraising letter sent during the 2012 campaign saying that he had voted with President Obama, whose approval was at an all-time low, 85 percent of the time. Despite PolitiFact rating the NRCC ads highlighting this as "Mostly False", they were nevertheless credited as helping to nationalize the race in a way that was damaging to Barrow.
