True, True, False.

- Wilson won a plurality, not a majority, of the popular vote (about 41.8%).
- Taft (~23.2%) + Roosevelt (~27.4%) together exceeded Wilson’s total (≈50.6% vs. 41.8%).
- Wilson won a large electoral majority (435 of 531 electoral votes, ≈81.9%), so it is false that he won less than 50% of the electoral votes.
