I'll give my impressions of who was the most charismatic candidate in each election, feel free to dispute any of my choices, and to help fill in the gaps for the ones I'm not sure of. I'm only going since 1896, since I have no idea how I would begin to determine charisma beforehand. Also, the only 3rd party candidate I'm counting is Teddy in 1912 (since he got more votes than Taft it makes no sense to consider Taft but not TR), for every other election I'm only judging the Republican and Democrat.

More charismatic candidate in each election:
1896: Bryan (Lost)
1900: Bryan (Lost)
1904: Roosevelt (Won)
1908: Bryan (Lost)
1912: Roosevelt (Lost)
1916: Unsure
1920: Harding (Won)
1924: Coolidge (Won)
1928: Unsure
1932: Roosevelt (Won)
1936: Roosevelt (Won)
1940: Roosevelt (Won)
1944: Roosevelt (Won)
1948: Truman (Won)
1952: Eisenhower (Won)
1956: Eisenhower (Won)
1960: Kennedy (Won)
1964: Goldwater (Lost)
1968: Unsure
1972: Nixon (Won)
1976: Ford (Lost)
1980: Reagan (Won)
1984 : Reagan (Won)
1988: Unsure
1992: Clinton (Won)
1996: Clinton (Won)
2000: Bush (Won)
2004: Bush (Won)
2008: Obama (Won)
2012: Obama (Won)
2016: Trump (Won)
2020: Trump (Lost)

So my current list of elections where the more charismatic candidate lost are 1896, 1900, 1908, 1912, 1964, 1976, & 2020. Anything I should add or remove from that list?
