The first time because Carter's presidency didn't go well in a number of ways, especially the hostage crisis in Iran (which was a big deal during the election) and the economy stinking.

The economy perked back up during Reagan's first term and Mondale wasn't a great candidate. Plus, the Christian coalition was building power and firing up the right wing base of the Republican party.

Also, am I the only one that thinks Jimmy Carter has done a lot more good since he left office with humanitarian efforts compared to his presidency?
