According to the article, "Rosie O'Donnell Leaves, and So Do 'View'-ers", The View has lost over 400,000 viewers since Rosie left on May 25th according to figures obtained from Nielsen/Soundscan.
"The View" suffered a 13 percent decline in household ratings, and a 9 percent decline in overall ratings during the combined weeks of June 4 and 11 compared with Rosie's last two weeks.
In my opinion, it seems as though viewers are finding the new show a little boring without Rosie. Say what you will about Rosie she spoke her mind and put her passion into her interests, which made the show more interesting for viewers.
For me, I was never quite found "The View" to be entertaining except for when Lisa Ling came on the show because she reflected what 20-somethings were thinking and feeling. I never quite got that from her replacement Elizabeth Hasselbeck, she never discussed anything that 20-somethings were feeling or thinking.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck adds nothing new. She just restates the Bush-like "stay the course" on everything. Boring.
Most of the counrty is fed up with
that position, as witnessed by the last elections. Rosie seemed more in touch with where most minds of the people are at.
