Answer: Four presidents took office without winning the popular vote. In other words, they did not receive a plurality in terms of the popular vote. They were elected, instead, by the electoral college or in the case of John Quincy Adams by the House of Representatives after a tie in the electoral votes. They were: 1  John Quincy Adams who lost by 44,804 votes to Andrew Jackson in 1824. 2  Rutherford B. Hayes who lost by 264,292 votes to Samuel J. Tilden in 1876.
Four times in U.S. history, the winner of the nationwide popular vote has lost the Electoral College and the general election. But a proposal called the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact would automatically allocate participating states' Electoral College votes to whoever wins the national popular vote.
