Has a president ever won the popular vote and lost the election?
In addition to presidential candidates who won the popular vote but lost the election (Al Gore in 2000 and Samuel Tilden in 1876 come to mind), there have been two people for which the statement as written is literally true:Andrew Jackson won a plurality (not a majority, but more votes than any other candidate) of both the popular and electoral vote in the presidential election of 1824. However, since there were four candidates in the race that year and none of them had a majority, the decision went to the House of Representatives, who chose John Quincy Adams instead. Jackson then went on to later became president in the election of 1828, with a clear majority of both the popular and electoral vote, so for him the statement is true in retrospect, but not at the time of the first election.Grover Cleveland also won a plurality of the popular vote in 1888 after his first term as president, though in his case he lost the electoral vote to Benjamin Harrison. He then ran again in 1892 and again won a plurality of the popular vote, but this time garnered a clear majority of the electoral vote and became president for a second time. He's the only one for whom the statement was true at the time of the election itself.

How many presidents have been elected whose opponent received more popular votes?
There have only been three (or possibly four) such presidents. The certain ones are Rutherford B Hayes (1876), Benjamin Harrison (1888) and George W. Bush (2000). The probable case is John Quincy Adams (1824), who was behind Andrew Jackson in the popular vote, but only in those states which used the popular vote to determine presidential electors. At that time several states, including important ones such as New York, did not do so, but allowed the Legislature to choose Electors. There is no way to tell how a nationwide popular vote would have gone.

Candidates need a majority of electoral votes to be elected. Because most states* award all of their electoral votes to the top candidate in that state, candidates do not need to win the national popular vote to win a majority of electoral votes. The result is that winning a few large population states (called swing states), even by a tiny margin, can guarantee election to the presidency. In 1876, 1888, and 2000, the winning candidate did not get the most popular votes nationwide.
