Default choppy idle?

Just recently (past 2-3 days), my civic has been acting kinda strange. WHen it idles, it vibrates real bad insode the car, but doesnt sound like its missing or anything. It tach's up smoothly, and as soon as you let off the gas, it gets real bumpy. Could it be the balancer going bad? Any ideas?
