Old-timer here. I was old enough to vote for Reagan. Truth be told, Jimmy Carter was and is a good man. He leads a straight and modest life. As a president, he did not preside over a happy time and he was defeated soundly by Reagan. Then Ronald Reagan was elected and the national mood was elevated. When Reagan ran for re-election, he won with 49 states. (Lacking only Minnesota, home state of his opponent. It was said that Reagan did not campaign there to avoid being a jerk.) 49 states won. It's historical fact. Don't let anyone re-write history.
