1. The economy was starting to show some signs of life as the election neared, and became less of a burden to the GOP. The effects of the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74 were wearing off (though they would return of course after the second embargo in 1978).
2. Carter was inexperienced, and this showed in the campaign, creating some doubts about him.
3. The 70's and 80's were, generally speaking, a GOP era in Presidential elections.
Those would be the primary reasons.
