In fact, if you ignore the electoral college and consider just the popular vote, then the last incumbent president to win a second term with a reduced popular vote %age from his first victory was Andrew Jackson in 1832.  And I guess he was the only one to do it, since there was no popular vote before the 1820s.


I'm imagining an "Atlas Forum 1820 Election" board.
