Dukakis was pretty terrible.

You forgot to include McGovern in the list (another top contender).

Gore 2000. 
What other incumbant has lost with peace and prosperity as his platform?

Nixon.


The end of the Dwight Eisenhower era was not a prosperous time.  America had gone through a recession in 1958-1959 and was weak at the time.

Kennedy proposed cutting taxes in order to stimulate the economy, whereas the Republicans wanted to keep the tax rate the same and sucessfully ran to the right of Nixon on this issue, one of things that probably helped him win the election.
