Ten Presidents ran for a second term but lost - John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Martin Van Buren, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, William Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter and George H.W. Bush. Grover Cleveland tried again and won the second time. Theodore Roosevelt lost as a third party candidate after he failed to get the Republican nomination. Rutherford Hayes made it clear that he did not want to be nominated for another term, but it is uncertain that he could have won had he run. James Polk declined to try for another term and he probably could have won.
Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce, Buchanan, Andrew Johnson and Arthur were not nominated for a second term but might have run if they had been nominated. In fact, Fillmore accepted a third party nomination in 1856 and carried Maryland.
