The 404 error page on the Trump re-election campaign website takes a shot at his rival’s age and makes allegations about his mental acuity.

Visitors to the site that click on a broken link or mistype a web address are directed to an image of presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden looking confused.

Text reads: “It appears you are as lost as me.”

The Trump campaign hopes to make an issue out of Mr Biden’s age — the former vice president is 77 years old — as well as the times when he stumbles over words and occasionally misspeaks. Mr Biden has a stutter.

Donald Trump has frequently referred to Mr Biden as “Sleepy Joe Biden”.

Commentators have questioned the wisdom of attacking Mr Biden in this way given that Donald Trump is about to turn 74, often appears to lose his train of thought halfway through a sentence, and frequently stumbles over words.

A CNN/SRSS poll of 1,001 registered voters conducted between 7-10 May has Mr Biden leading Mr Trump nationally 51 per cent to 46 per cent.

The same poll has Mr Trump falling far behind Mr Biden with voters over the age of 65, a demographic he won in 2016.

It is thought that the swing away from him is directly related to the handling of the coronavirus pandemic and the president's inconsistent messaging and apparent cavalier attitude towards public health.

The poll puts Mr Biden on 57 per cent over the president's 42 per cent.

However, the same poll has Mr Trump up by several points in many battleground states that will decide the election.

The 404 error page on the Biden campaign website has the candidate wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses and eating an ice cream.

“Looks like that page isn’t here. Keep cool — I’ll get us back on the rails,” the text reads, alluding to Mr Biden’s promise to get the country on course again, and perhaps also his love of Amtrak.
