Only two presidents won re-election with a lower EV-percentage than in their 1st election, that were James Madison in 1812 and Woodrow Wilson in 1916. So it looks like this happens every hundred years ...

Of note, Madison still had a greater total of electoral votes in 1812 than in 1808, and Wilson actually improved his popular vote percentages in 1916, it just happened he didn't have the advantage of the huge split that 1912 was that gave him states like Massachusetts, New York, and Wisconsin.
