You mean the last presidential candidate? If he was president that means he won.:) The last candidate to win the popular vote but lose the election was Al Gore, who lost to George W. Bush in 2000. The other 3 were Grover Cleveland, who lost to Benjamin Harrison, Samuel J. Tilden, who lost to Rutherford B. Hayes, and Andrew Jackson, who lost to John Quincy Adams.
