Churchill's defeat was definitely in part due to his honestly horrible election campaign, but it was not only that; the Conservatives are frankly terrible at administration and have always been, and voters thought that Attlee and Bevin, far more supportive of the worker, would be a better choice for the rebuilding of Great Britain after the war, and that's the big problem with a post-war Conservative re-election.

Had Churchill been elected Prime Minister again after 1945, I don't think he would've lasted very long.
