Best Answer

In 1860, Abraham Lincoln became the only Presidential candidate in U.S. history to win the electoral vote despite winning less than 40% of the popular vote. The only other person to become U.S. President with less than 40% of the popular vote was John Quincy Adams in 1824, but he did not win the electoral vote.
