William Jennings Bryan (1896,1900), Thomas Dewey (1944,1948), Adlai Stevenson (1952, 1956)...and technically Richard Nixon (1960, 1968).

Adlai Stevenson was neck-and-neck with JFK in the opinion polls throughout all of 1959.

The aforementioned Humphrey in 1972, though he was also polling fairly strong in 1976.

Curiously there's quite a few of these, but most of them opted not to run again like Ford in 1980, Gore in 2004 and Romney in 2016.

For 2024, leading losers Hillary (is this really a thing?) Clinton and Donald Trump would need to look back to Nixon in 1968 and Cleveland in 1892 respectively for the rare instances this comeback was actually successful.

Who would have wanted Stevenson to get the nomination again after not only one but TWO failed candidacies?
