Elections since 1932 where the less charismatic candidate won

[morgieb]

1988?

You kidding, Dukakis might very well be the least charismatic Democrat of them all, barring Stevenson.

Yes, but his opponent was a Jeb that won.

Herb may be a Low Energy Loser, but he's surely more charismatic than the Duke!

Probably the only years that count are 1968 and 1972. Pretty much since Hoover America has gone for the Higher Energy candidate, as someone's #analysis on AAD pointed out.

EDIT: You could argue 76, but that's kinda a 1988 like situation.
