Give me either.
People just don't vote for Senators over executive branch guys.
Has a sitting President ever lost to a Senator?
I'm not sure, but I don't think it has ever happened.
I'm not sure that a sitting Senator without prior experience as a Governor has ever won the White House, period.
Can you think of a counter example?

Kennedy?

No, but the data points are too few for this kind of thing to achieve much statistical interest. Kennedy did beat Nixon however, a quasi incumbent. Normally incumbent presidents don't lose historically absent stress, but we have a more divided politics, with fewer swing voters, since the 1876 to 1896 period.
