McGovern consistently lost to Nixon in a landslide in polls and ended up losing by the same margin the earlist polls predicted, so his campaign wasn’t so much awful as it was ineffective at changing minds, similar to Dole in 1996 and Clinton in 2016 but with a much lower ceiling.

Carter and Dukakis managed to lose comfortably after leading in early polls, which arguably makes them worse, although Carter’s loss was mainly caused by Iran and not his campaign.
