 Jackson won 50.3 percent of the popular vote in the free states, but 72.6 percent of the vote in the slave states.No future presidential candidate would match Jackson's proportion of the popular vote until Theodore Roosevelt's 1904 campaign, while Adams's loss made him the second one-term president, after his own father.By 1828, only two states did not hold a popular vote for president, and the number of votes in the 1828 election was triple that in the 1824 election.
