1824 is disputable though. Even among the states that put the matter up to a popular vote, only Illinois, Maryland, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and possibly Alabama (votes were recorded for Clay in Alabama, but were few enough to make me think they may have been write-ins) had all four of the principal candidates on the ballot. That makes it difficult to judge how the matter would have gone had there truly been a national vote, though I agree the available evidence suggests a Jackson plurality.
Also the EV would have quite different had the winner-take all rules now common had been in place then. Adams managed to win the PV in both Illinois and Maryland, yet Jackson got most of eth EV's in both States.
Adams 92 (CT, IL, MA, MD, NH, NY, RI, VT)
Jackson 91 (AL, IN, LA, MS, NJ, NC, PA, SC, TN)
Crawford 36 (DE, GA, VA)
Clay 33 (KY, MO, OH)
Note that Adams comes in first in the EV in such a case, albeit not by enough to avoid going to Congress.
