Yes, while he was the incumbent U.S. Vice President, Martin Van Buren won the U.S. presidential election of 1836 with 57.8% of the electoral votes. He was the third of eight people who were U.S. presidential election candidates while they were the incumbent U.S. Vice President, and he was the third of the four out of the eight who won.
